Cryptomnesia →

bestofwikipedia:

Cryptomnesia, or inadvertent plagiarism, is a memory bias whereby a person falsely recalls generating a thought, an idea, a song, or a joke, when the thought was actually generated by someone else. In these cases, the person is not deliberately engaging in plagiarism, but is rather experiencing a memory as if it were a new inspiration. (via phuongmai)

I did this to my therapist today! I quoted him directly from a conversation we had months ago, and claimed it was my own thought. I immediately realized that I had done it, but it’s freaking me out a little that the actual word for this phenom was in my tumblr feed just now. The thought in question was “There should be another word for sex in a relationship, it’s not like single sex at all.” Discuss.
