Normal is to remember the things that stand out in our minds. We remember the things that are exceptional.
Since you are a pro and your mind is set up to expect to win, then winning is normal.
Your mind is not set up to accept losing, so when you lose that is exceptional, so you remember it.
Recreational players remember the big wins, because they are exceptional.
Myself, I fall in between and remember the out of the ordinary wins and out of the ordinary losses. I think my mind is programmed to break even.

Someone asked me to recount some the big Jackpots I've hit, and I suddenly realized I could recall almost none of them. Without digging out my tax slips, I have almost no recollection of any specific result I've had over my long career--even ones as recent as a few months ago.
I can easily remember to the penny all my big one day losses, and my worst year where I made slightly over minimum wage.
I was wondering if this is normal, or if I'm strange. OK badly worded, we know I'm strange, but am I strange in this particular regard.
I seem to remember loses over wins.
Just curious as to what's "normal"?
