as soon as anyone asks me anything about myself I immediately forget literally everything and become dumber than a goldfish

When people ask me things like "What's your favorite song" I'm like "uhhhhhh idk I don't remember any songs" every time

It's especially hard for me since my favorite anything changes. I don't like being restrained to one favorite thing all the time. It really depends on the situation. For example, with music, it depends on my current situation and emotional disposition. Sometimes I really like a super sad song, and sometimes I like an exciting energetic song. Having long-term favorites is something I don't understand.
