Well yes, when I moved house I had to write the number on several forms, but
since then I have rarely used it, hence I can't remember it. Actually I'm
not even sure of the area code! Then again I've only lived there for a
little over a year, I can fully remember the complete phone number of the
house where I grew up.

Social security number? Again, cannot remember the last time I had to write
that anywhere, no chance of remembering it by heart.

Oh, I can easily tell you my *home* phone number. (I'm not going to
though...) But I have no clue what my *mobile* number is. I never give
that to anybody...

So that the handful of people who already have my number can call me?

That's not unusual, actually. I sometimes have to think a minute about
my phone number - especially my work number - because I don't call it
very often.
I've got a Google Voice number as well, but I don't give that out often
yet, so I can never remember it.

I have to use it to sign in on a credit monitoring service from American
Express....but I've always been able to remember my SSN.

As I said, maybe it's different in your country.
The social security number is your unique ID given at birth. It's asked
anywhere where you have to be uniquely identified.
How else do they know who to send the bills to in your country?

Everyone in Argentina is supposed to remember his ID number (DNI), since
it's asked often if you deal with banks, doctors, or...
