I have ADHD (+ other stuff) and so names has always been a massive issue for me. A few years ago I just stopped trying because I don't talk to most people anyways. out of the ~25 people in this class with me right now (fun fact! I am breaking a law by being on my phone rn :3) I know the name of,
1: teacher
2: girl with pink hair
3: trans friend
4: person who sits next to me and cannot understand what a function is to save his life
5: someone who I sat next to in 3rd grade
The others, no earthly idea. I have COWORKERS in this class who I don't know their name ๐
2 things that make it a little bit easier to remember other people's names is repeating the name of the person after he/she just said it and trying to associate with another person you know that has the same name. It's not perfect but it's better than forgetting every single time.
Repeating the name back helped me immensely. I'm still not great with names but I'm so much better than I was.
