You know, I just had the epiphany yesterday that the reason I'm so bad at remembering new names and faces is probably because it hasn't been worth my while to in probably a decade, haven't made any new connections other than coworkers (and even then). But it's a vicious cycle, it becomes hard to connect because I don't know their name and barely recognize their face. It's getting worse too. Friends of friends will walk up like "hey oops, how's it been? Haven't seen you since blah-blah-blah" ... but I have no idea who they are. I can tell that I've seen them before, and I can guess from the context who I know them through, but I don't know them even though they seem to know me. Fucking scary, just losing that information.
