Oh boy... I have holes in my memory from a series of head injuries, which plays out in a number of ways. One problem I have is facial recognition. If I don't know someone well, I won't get any sense of familiarity upon meeting that person again.
In the not too distant past, I was at a sorority event. As I passed by a little group of people, a woman (not a member) yelled my name loudly and waved me over. I had no idea who she was. Because this is an ongoing problem, I've gotten to the point where I have no shame anymore. lol She reached out to hug me and I whispered in her ear, "I'm so sorry, I can't place your face" or something to that effect.
Turns out this was a person I
should have known very well even though I hadn't been around her all that much, but I won't go into the gory details. It was a bad situation.
