I am just curious. I never really thought about it before, but last night I got curious and did some research.
In my case all my memories are in third person. A memory of me at the movies with my three friends discussing the movie, will be a picture of me standing in a circle with those friends. I remember who was there, I remember who said what and where everyone stood but its not a true memory obviously because I cant have been watching myself. All my memories are like this. Never really thought anything about it. Apparently its not uncommon but many people do have memories from the first person perspective, they remember what they saw through their eyes.

Any memories are suspect, and if you are seeing my yourself in third person then doubly so, as unless you are on film its not a pov you can physically have experienced

First person. I think maybe my dreams veer into third person sometimes, but not my memories.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

My memories are all first person as I am an FPS character (First Person Suffering). Press F to pay respects.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I think that the only logical conclusion is that these memories are implants. Cause is actually a Manchurian candidate sent to America by South Africa's government to assassinate Trevor Noah.

first person. I have a hard time imagining myself in 3rd person, tbh.

Almost all of my memories are in the first person
But some really old memories - most of them with my grandfather who passed away when i was 3 and a half years old are in the third person.

Could those memories not be stories people have told you about you and your grandfather, that have become a part of your memory of him, your only real memory?

I don't know. I'm trying to work it out and I can't. That's weird in itself.

Please don't put my name and Manchurian candidate in the same sentence where the NSA can see.
Now I feel like a freak, my quick google search seemed to imply 3rd person memories were not that uncommon.

Well, you cannot physically see yourself, so a 3rd person 'memory' cannot possibly be a fully accurate memory. It will have been embellished by your brain, possibly to make more sense of the full circumstances surrounding the memory. I imagine this will be more common with very early 'memories' (age 0-4), where your personal impressions have been coloured by descriptions of others and by photographs.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Don't worry, Cause. I didn't use the words assassinate and President in the same sentence so NSA wont pick up on it.

I think even first person memories are embellished or fake to some degree. Still from what I have read its more complicated than just time and embellishment, gender and culture apparently influence first or 3rd person memories. As does what you were doing at the time, the emotions etc.

Perhaps you should go visit your local Scientology office and get them to do an e-meter reading. The thetans inside you might be restless.

I wish my memories of myself were in the 3rd person, because that would imply I was actually someone else.
Oh wait - in the correct tense:
Sombra wishes Sombra's memories of Sombra were in the 3rd person, because that would imply Sombra was actually someone else.
Or maybe: One wishes one's memories ...
Also, Sombra is so cool even Sombra can only refer to Sombra in the 3rd person.
