I got through an entire summer calling guys Mr Man and women Lady.

“Hey Mr Man, good to see ya. What’s up Lady, how you been?”

Somehow, I pulled it off (as far as I know). Everyone started calling me Mr Man in response. I didn’t learn any of their names and was too embarrassed to admit that I’d forgot.

The confidence sells it.

I was friends with a neighbor for an entire year before I learned his name. Haha.

... saying your name and you just answer "hi"

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Don't stigmatized this. It's like what I do pretty much every day.

Same, Big Dog, same. Worse are the people who know details about your life and you don't even recognize their faces.

Yes. Some people say I'm an asshole, but I think it's a condition.

Face blindness is real and comes in different degrees

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

I have it to a high degree, but then there are faces I have no problem recognizing, but the name never comes. Asshole comes in different degrees too, and I'm sure I have a little of that, but I also feel like there is a brain problem.

That's not Donovan McNabb, he's an actor...

Don Cheadle, specifically.

slightly off topic, but I like saying his last name like “Seattle”
