When is the earliest you remember feeling conscience?

Title says it all.

Well, I don't think I can remember any of my life before I was 4 years old. I think my earliest memory is of me watching South Park and having a lisp, though that disappeared soon after.

Either that or the memory I have of falling and hitting my head on the radiator. One of those 2 events.

I have lots of memories of being 2 years old, but nothing past that.

Yesterday.

Yeah, my memory sucks.

People could remind me of things in the past, and then I can get a blurry picture of what happened, but making me think about them myself...not happening.

I remember....I remember the worry worry, of being 2.

Just lying face up on the couch, thinking about Spaghetti O's.
That was... age 3, I think.

I remember things from when I was 3 really well, but I really can't relate with any past conscience of mine. Even looking at what I did a year ago, I think "wtf, that's definitely not something that I'd do." Hopefully that'll stop soon, because I'm getting kind of pissed off at stupid regret.

That would be consciousness.
I have a vague memory of playing round my grandparents' house when I was about two. It may have been a false memory.

I remember a day when I was 3...

...but I started having consistent memory around my 5th birthday. Everything before then was boring, and I've always been the type to drop irrelevant and boring memories. It's why I don't particularly care about nor remember most of my pre-kindergarten life.

Uhmmm... I stole a pack of chewing gum when I was 5. I got caught and I felt terrible; but I can't remember if it was because of my conscience or the scolding my parents gave me.

One I definitely remember is finding a lot of money in my pocket, and using it to buy milkshakes and chewing gum for me and a couple of friends every day after school. I think I was something like eight years old.

Edit: Okay, so clearly we're talking about consciousness, not conscience... Never mind my post then.

Oh, and OP: Low content posts are frowned upon.

I have memories of being 3 years old. Can't remember anything beyond that.

 

[Outright Villainy]

All my memories are hazy, and feel more like I've just imagined them than any real recollection. I never remember any visual details.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

I have some vivid memories of when I still was in daipers and was pointing at a toy I wanted to play with (must have been between 0 and 1 then). Or was that fallout 3 from a few months ago? Oh well....

 

[hyperhammy]

Dude my memory is total shit...
I can't remember my first day of school...
I can't remember moving to and from Minnesota...
I can't remember any of my old teachers...
So, yeah... I live for the day!

 

[Axolotl]

I've always had a conscience as far back as I remember.

I don't really know when I developed my conscience. I've been a pretty horrible person at various times in my life - I still am, though I regret it acutely and try to avoid it. But then, I'll also engage in very self-serving actions if it suits me, as long as they don't hurt anybody else. I lie whenever it's convenient for me. I've stolen things before (many years ago, due to peer pressure), and I only didn't want to because I didn't want to get caught. I can find it very difficult to empathise with other peoples problems, and sometimes I just can't. I know how to say the right words, I know how to comfort people, and I do it because I should, but I often feel nothing about it. Sometimes I think that I just know how good people should act, and I act that way because I know, intellectually, that it is ethically good, rather than feeling anything for it. But sometimes I do feel things. I don't know.

Oh wow. Nice melodrama. Sorry about that.
