This is exactly me. I can recall random bits of information in meetings but as soon as my supervisor asks me to summarize a meeting I just got out of I just sit there with a stupid look on my face because I can never remember the specific details.
I also suck at telling stories or jokes because I get hung up on the absolute stupidest details and am constantly fumbling over my thoughts or trying to come up with the perfect word when any number of them would do.
I too feel like I just know things, how things work, the science and logic. But for fucks sake I just don't remember things that I read or watch or learn unless I repeat them constantly and for a very very long time.

That's me exactly! Tons of interests, lots of knowledge. I "know" facts, effective strategies, the science behind things. No short-term memory.
