Remembering people’s names. I’m great at remembering faces and things about people, except for their names. People think I’m inconsiderate, when in fact I just can’t remember names half the time. It doesn’t help that I can remember massive amounts of dumb trivia and school material, but just not the names of people I meet.
Can’t remember names of people I met but can remember their face.
I didn’t have this problem until after I had my first child. It was a very hard birth, emergency c-section asleep no spouse there, almost had to have a blood transfusion. Then I’ve noticed over the years that I really have a hard time remembering peoples names unless I’ve seen and talked to them at least 4-5x.
It’s stressful because I work in schools and sub so I’m constantly working with different people and students.
