I thought I had face blindness.
But then I heard about the symptoms of said condition, and it turns out that I don't.
I am really, really bad at remembering faces and names.
And I don't mean to seem like an asshole, but when I first meet people, I don't remember their name or their face. I've been taking a whole lot of classes since I moved here. I've even taken some one day classes, and people recognize me from that. And I don't recognize them. At all. Like there is nothing in my memory that I held onto. I think everyone in chicago looks the same. That's not true, but I think I recognize people here and people there, but it's really just that people in general look exactly the same to me. And I try to tell them apart, but I can't until you tell me some weird story or something.
I make mental notes like "john is wearing a back shirt that says "evolve" on it, so that is john" then john always has to wear that black shirt for me to know who he is...
People say they are bad with names, but then they meet me... and after the seventh time, they understand, that I'm really bad with names.
