See below: There are no ideal way to tell someone "you're forgetful". I would focus on the strengths that the person has; how this person can learn from environment. Most of all, these things should be done gently and with empathy, .

Forgetfulness: A true good friend gives tells us what we need to hear not what we may want to hear. If you think someone you care about is struggling with memory issues be honest, tactful, direct and express your concerns with no judgment. Best.

Forgetfulness: My colleagues have suggested ways you might address the forgetfulness of someone else, but i wondered whether you might be concerned about your own forgetfulness? If this is so, you can get a thorough evaluation by seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist. You may also need more in-depth neuropsychological testing and/or other studies. They can also suggest ways to help you with this issue.
