[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 618532, member: 4152"] selective memory....yep. In psychology, they call this, or something very close to it, "confabulation," one of my favorite words. They remember what they wish and alter facts. Dementia patients do this as well. Things don't make sense to them, their memories are fading, so they fabricate a story to force the event to make sense in some sort of way and then they believe that story whole heartedly. The mentally ill can do this as well. [/QUOTE]
