[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The awkwardness thing is huge!

NP here.

I remember people easily, including small conversations we may have had in passing. I often feel awkward when speaking to an acquaintance and I know all about them but they barely even remember that we once spoke. I spend a lot of time thinking about what is the 'normal' amount of remembering to try and avoid looking rude (acting like I am meeting them for the first time) and wayyy to invested (because I remember all this random sh*t about them).

I also used to get bent out of shape when I was younger and used to remember everything about others, but they didn't remember everything about me. I wondered if I didn't 'matter' to them. It took a while to realize that *I* was the odd one...

Like others have said, though, it definitely was a major advantage in school. It actually let me excel in an academic environment despite my ADHD.[/quote]

Yep, you totally come off as a stalker if you're not careful. I feel your pain.[/quote]
