Hey guys! Have you also experienced this similar scenario?: You and your friends were having a conversation and when it was your time to talk, you suddenly forgot what it was that you were going to say! It's like the thought just vanished in thin air! I always have that kind of experience! Then I find me and my friends laughing about it and then try to recall it as hard as I can. Sometimes, I recall it immediately, sometimes not. Has anyone experienced this as well? What do you think is an explanation for it? Happy Lotting guys and thanks for your responses! :)

hi veron. there were a lot of times this kind of situation happened to me. there are times, until now, take note, lol, when me and my wife is having a conversation, suddenly another people will come in the picture, say her daughter or sister. then when they arrive, they enter with something like, blah, blah, blah from their school. then our conversation will get to a pause. then, there it goes, we don't know where to start again to continue. everything went gone.

Hahahaha! I know! It also usually happens when someone interrupts your conversation. Or when one suddenly switches to a different topic at the same time that you are about to say your mind :)

Probably a memory gap. Happened to me many times before. Till I read how John Kennedy enhanced his memory be recalling the things he had just seen while window shopping. If he can't remember an item, he would go back and look at what he failed to remember. Recalling is the key. Hope that helped.

Yeah, maybe it's some kind of a mild memory gap or something. Gosh, it's not a good sign:( Anyway, thanks for the tips!:)

It does happen to me but very rarely..sometimes its so damn irritating that I feel like replaying my brain again and again till I remember it..but haven't succeeded so far ever to remember what I had forgotten to tell...Once it turned out that the thing I was about to say was important and then I got a good scolding from my friends! Have a nice day!

Lol, I know! It's so annoying! And replaying the brain again and again is so tiresome! There's even a time when it happened to me several times in a single conversation! And also times when I get to remember it the next day! Aaaarrgghh!! Have a nice day to you too!! :)

Hell yeah! I do find myself at times bugging my friends (you know, tapping them to get their attention), then when their attention is diverted towards me already, I find my self grinning foolishly then saying "Uh, I forgot what I was about to say". I usually tell them I'll talk to them again once I remember what was I going to say. They usually tease me that it's a sign of aging! Hahaha...

It happened to me also, several times. I know I am about to say something vital and important and then I forgot about it. I tried recalling what I have to say but I forgot about it completely. Sometimes it would take me hours, sometimes days. :-)
