Oh man I can't remember names for shit. I think I'm whatever the opposite of face blind is, like I remember people's faces forever after just seeing them once and can usually remember the context I saw them in days or weeks later even if I never interacted with them. I think this really colors how my memory of people works because I basically don't ever think about people's names in my head, I sort of refer to them by face, which probably doesn't make a lot of sense. It also means I pretty much always have to actively try to remember people's names, otherwise I'll hear it and immediately forget, like 2 seconds after someone tells me their name if I don't repeat it in my head I've already forgotten it. I've learned to mask both of these things because I find it's embarrassing to forget peoples names, especially someone I interact with a lot, and people are sometimes unsettled being remembered with clarity by a stranger.
