- Creative Memory Syndrome (CMS)
- The condition of remembering past incidents, conflicts, accidents, and disagreements in such a way as to prove oneself as being completely blameless and in the right. People experiencing this condition will not be lying but they will forget all unflattering aspects of their own behavior and motivation and misremember incidents in such away as to support their own views of themselves as right and good. A woman might remember the her one time fiancee and "one true love" as "the guy I hung out with." Unlike lying or dissembling, the victim of this condition believes his own account absolutely. It's a condition all of us have experienced on occasion but some of us are blessed with memories that are more fluid than the rest.
