That's totally me. Although often I will hide my good memory because it might freak people out...especially people-related memories, like knowing someone's name because someone else told it to you once, and you haven't even met the person. When you DO meet them, do you tell them you know all this stuff about them that someone else randomly told you and you happened to remember, or do you pretend not to know a thing? Dilemmas! Also I just don't like getting the attention that having a good memory gets often. I'd just rather someone else answer the question first and me add something than me be the person who "gets it" and everyone else goes "Wow! How'd you remember that?"

I keep finding my identity in what I do instead of who I am.

A common malady, that. I’ve suffered from it myself, and I don’t have any easy answers for you, Kari. :(

In fact, I was talking to a friend about this the other day. My roommate during my freshman year of college had a much higher high school GPA than I did. We were both smart, but she was clearly the harder worker. However, my scholarship was substantially larger than hers. Why? 'Cause of my SAT scores. I didn't think that was fair.
