I'm mostly face blind. I work in optical, so I remember people by their glasses and how they move/walk. I have to have seen someone numerous times before I.can memorize their face enough to identify them, and even then if they look like a celebrity even a little bit my memory will corrupt and I'll just see the celebrity in my head and forget what they look like.

I've just gotten very good at bullshitting through conversations

Face blind club fist bump. πŸ€œπŸ€› I struggle for the first few hours of a new show to tell characters apart if they aren’t wildly different in some way. And when someone I know gets a haircut all bets are off…

Yeah same here but I work at a restaurant. It took me two weeks te remember the name and face of my boss

I have so many meetings with people that i don't recognize! Actually virtual meetings have been good because i spend an hour looking at people with their name beside them.

Do you have a visual memory or imagination for other things? My friends say they see things in their heads.

I can conjure images pretty easily, and I see patterns in everything
