Forgetting names/faces?

[Rae1889]

i dont usually have issues with forgetting names or faces. Its only after seizures that I cant recall these things (and others)

I do however have a bad case of never knowing "where I am" I could tell you the address, but to give directions or walk home from where I was, nope...

like everyone said..he probably wasn't worth remembering at all.

for me..i haven't come across that scenario yet. i have problems remembering someone i may be telling a story about...not just a name..it's weird, like i lose their face too.

p.s. the name tag hijacking was hysterical..i was laughing out loud and of course getting some strange looks here. "you okay..is something happening..are you with us?"

It always happens like this; I see someone, am pretty sure I know them, talk them on a decently personal level as they know my name and initiate the conversation (I'm usually listening to my iPhone as an excuse to just smile instead of talk where I have to say their name and remember how I actually know them hahaha), then walk away like who ARE you?

I teach a few dance classes on my campus so I thought all of these people might be old students of mine but I've watched all of my students for over 6 hours for every practice test- there are 3- but there have been so many of these people that they all can't be those.

Rrrrgh haha

just to add-
I have a terrible time recalling people's names - but again as I found lately when I started a drawing of what I recalled about my friend's mom's dog falling into the pool (I started a drawing of the moment before my friend's mom's dog fell into their pool - and I saved the dog... she has a pool and skinnydipping in the pool helps me empower myself because now I'm freaked out about pools - thinking the sudden temperature shock of diving in will send me into seizures or something... so in a way skinnydipping while my friend (not her mom) is there, but inside the house, or around..., helps me chill out in a way... feel au natural, a part of nature, God's plan, ...



but ANYWAY back to the point - I shock mySELF at how accurate my visual acuity and memory can be...
I wonder if it's just an over-developed visual brain while my association brain is underdeveloped (the association of a name with a person or thing...)


this seems like such a garbled post but I'm posting it anyway
