However I Think It Cannot Be Considered Creepy If It's Stuff Your Friends Have Consciously Told You? - Tumblr Posts
WIBTA if I kept notes about my friends?
I have ADHD and memory problems due to a brain injury. For this reason it's difficult for me to remember things about my friends sometimes. When I want to get them a gift sometimes I draw a blank and default to getting them a giftcard or nice bottle of alcohol (we're all adults) but sometimes I'd like to get them more sincere gifts if I could remember more details about things they liked.
I feel like if I wrote notes about them after hanging out I could pinpoint more things they like. I could also use this to follow up on more sincere conversational topics that I do care about, but forget about because of my issues.
The flipside is I feel like this could be misconstrued as "creepy" instead of sincere, which is something I want to avoid. I wouldn't want someone to find my friend notes and think I'm being weird (derogatory). I just want to work on being a better friend because I feel like a lot of my friendships right now are more surface level because I can't remember enough about the people I know to strengthen the relationship.
So, WIBTA if I kept notes about my friends?
