I’ve found a fantasy in which my deficiencies are useful.

There are different styles of mind control in fiction. Some of the more direct ones use statements—“you will obey your master.” But some of the less direct ones create memories of experiences, with sensory details and attached emotions. You act based on how your memories say you should, defending your friend or mentor.

My experience memory doesn’t work very well, and it’s mostly blurs. So if something tried to give me experience memories, I’d be able to recognize the dissonance. I could compare them to my fact memories and realize the contradiction.

Yay, my self-insert is immune to (some forms of) mind control.
