Question: Does amnesia scare you!?
If so, then which one scares you more!? Retrograde amnesia (where one loses all past memories before the onset of amnesia) or anterograde amnesia (where one can remember everything that happened before amnesia, but has trouble remembering things afterwards)!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The thought of forgetting the past would not scare me, but I would miss it!. But could I miss what i forgot!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Heh, forgive me for answering like this, but I'm young and probably don't fully comprehend the consequences!. So, to answer, no I'm not afraid of amnesia in any way, I can't miss/cry over a past I don't remember and would only get slightly annoyed with not knowing the future!. If anything I would look at everything as a new start and model myself after whatever I find appealing during that time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ha! I bet you're young!. No!. I don't mind it!. I always had a poor memory, but after 50, let me tell you, it's all down hill!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Retrograde, because it would suck to start allover again at a old ageWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don't remember if I'm scared of it or not!.
