Comment on How can I get better at remembering names in video games?
l_b_i@yiffit.net 7 months agoI don’t know if I have any actual facial blindness, but I have a terrible time recognizing people. In tv shows, it takes me half a series to recognize the main characters by appearance alone. I think I recognize features of someone more than the person. I have terrible name recall to the point I don’t usually ask people their names because I know I’ll forget it almost immediately. I also almost never recognize people out of context.

Sounds like it! I have to identify people based on their hair or clothes, where they are, or even their voice. Once I asked where somebody was, turns out I was standing near them and even after they’d been pointed out I didn’t recognise them (they’d turned up sporting a beard). It was only after they spoke that I said "oh, yeah’.
