[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have name blindness to some names. Like I have a neighbor named Hames and I constantly am unsure it is John, Jim, or even Bob or Mike.

I like him a great deal, we go to the same church, and see it each other several times a week.

At some point the early name confusion can linger as a panic when you see the person and are aware you keep forgetting their name and that adrenaline rush jumbles the name stack. [/quote]

Me too. It's so embarrassing that I avoid social interaction sometimes if I can get out of it. I literally can't find the names of people I've known for a decade or more sometimes, while at other times and with certain people I remember. I hate when someone I know joins a conversation and I'm the one who knows everyone am supposed to make the introduction -- 60% of the time I can't do it! DH knows this and always introduces himself to get me off the hook, but in other scenarios, I just look rude. When introduced to someone, I typically forget their name in seconds even when I try all the tricks they teach you. I HATE it. I know how I come across and it is so humiliating.[/quote]

If it were ONE PERSON at work, I am confident you could come up with a way of solving this.[/quote]
