She remembered the guy and knew they went out but only after she bumped into him and they got chatting! is it actually possible to block someone out of your memory? Perhaps hypnosis? thanks alot!!!!!

reader, anonymous, writes (13 October 2007): Sometimes when people have unpleasant experiences they are able to condition their brains and allow themselves freedom from the memory of it. It is not erased just simply lying dorment. Some people can go to therapy to help them achieve putting things to the 'back of the mind' so that it is less disruptive in their everyday lives - this also works in reversal and those in denial can have their brains 'picked' to unleash those supressed memories.
Some people however are just forgetful, perhaps the relationship was so insignificant to her that the memories are very few and far between. I couldnt tell you all of the details of my previous relationships, only those that have stuck in my mind.

reader, anonymous, writes (12 October 2007): If you refer to have a person completely vanished away from your memory, there is a movie in which they explan how this is done by eradicating the emotional nucelous from each memory. And it's fictional. Thinking logical about it, how could this be possible when each and person can be associated with so many circumstances and other persons[.] Why do you ask? Perhaps if you regret having known/met a certain person, you can try and remember the positive part, and if it's shadowed upon by the rest maybe see it as a learning process of what is to be avoided?
