Names, faces, things

Post Reply New Topic

Trouble remembering names. First names not so bad (men better than women for some odd reason) but last names? Forget about it!

Always recognized people more from posture, body shape/size and movement than from facial features. Would actually get anxious about meeting new people thinking that I would not recognize them when I saw them again.

Another thing I do is link people to the vehicles they drive. I see them in the vehicle once and I can remember. When I see it again - I think - thats so-and-so.

I make up my own names for things. Not alot, but often enough. People think it is funny. I also like to say certain words in my own way or in a different accent such as garage or schedule. I have even been asked before if I had an acceet or if I was from the East coast.

Is this a question in some way or did you just want to tell everyone about yourself?

I personally do not think it's that important to learn second names really, unless you know another person with the same first name. That's interesting how you link cars with people - that would REALLY confuse me.

I recognize objects and faces extremely well, but I often have problems remember the names of people and things.

my boyfriend was all excited the other day because i called a music store we went to by its proper name a few days after going there with him for the first time. apparently i don't normally recall these things on the first try.
