    I have a mild version of this. I have to meet a person a good few times to recognise them. People look SO different to me from social media photos and real life too. I can’t see family resemblance unless they’re super super similar looking. I’m having an assessment for Autism soon so that will explain that.

    I once introduced myself to my boss 5 times. Also parties are a nightmare, if someone leaves my side, I can't find them anymore. I only recognize people who have recognizable features or style

    I have a very severe case of this based on the official test I took. I really hate having it. It affects me with my job and prevented from getting a job I really wanted to have.

    For me it's the inability to imagine someone's face. I can know this person for years but I wouldn't be able to imagine their face in my head or even describe it. I can only do it if I've seen a picture of that person and have the picture stored in my memory. Then I would end up describing the picture and not really the person. However, when I see them in person, I do know who they are.

    I can remember people's clothes, the accessories even the hairstyles. But i can't recall faces of people Ive met.
    Only once I've met or hung out with them a few times
    And it's weird to me that i can tell you what that guy on that event wore 3 years ago. But i wouldn't have even have recognized him a day after the event in a crowd

    took me 1 month to figure our once that we have 2 receptionists and not one, because im also terrible with names 😅 found out about face blindness today, I often can't follow a plot of the movie if people are similar, because I mix them up, probably need to get my self checked out 😅

      Yeah... I can relate to that. I thought 2 people were the same for a couple years. My first job was as a cleaner in a toy section, people would get annoyed after I said hello 3+ times.

    i have this. I never could tell faces apart, and now with the pandemic and mandatory mask wearing, it has gotten way worse. masks on, masks off, change hair, grow beard, shave beard.. I don't know who's who anymore.
    I'm fine with most celebrities or political figures.. cause of the constant exposure, but everyday people is really not possible.

    I remember Dr. Sacks saying he had this disorder. Once he said he walked by his own houlse and did not reconize it.
    I recall a video where a woman had had a stroke and as a result,she saw the world as if through a strobe light.
    Could you explain how this happens in an episode?

      @TinyMedicine  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Daci!. you have given me wonderful suggestions from the beginning, I really appreciate it! Last week, you suggested Leptospirosis: I think it's going to be really interesting. Stokes & TIA could lead to some strange visual syndromes! It would be a great idea as well. Thanks a ton Daci!

      @Grunfeld 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Probably, if you're into anime -- because you pick up on anything distinctive which isn't the face. I'm not an anime fan and it all looks alike to me *but* I can follow a cartoon, or say a Pixar film way easier than a live action.
