For real. Came into work for six months and talked to this dude about a bunch of stuff every time. Only a week ago did I find out his name. Now I can finally say his name instead of starting off with "hey bro"

At least you remember names. Someone can tell me their name, I'll repeat it as suggested, forget it a few days later anyway.

I'll remember a phone number before someone's name.

Hell, I remember one dude as initials + his age when I met him. I don't know why. Example: If I met John Doe aged 32, there's a chance I'd remember him as "JD32", and forget his actual name.
Shout-out to MK22, I forgot your name again.

I just remember faces for 20 years, no clue about their names.

I sometimes make a note with someone's name and brief description that sticks to me.

I have a friend who has a lot of friends. Sometimes we hangout together, but rarely. I cannot for the life of me remember their names and I swear 3 of them look the fucking same to me. It's always a struggle to keep pretending for hours until I finally hear someone call one of them by name. I remember that for a few hours. If we hangout again next day it resets out of my head again.

Could you possibly have face blindness?
