I have a lot of difficulty recognizing faces, to the extent that it's occasionally inhibited my life. I also just assume other people don't recognize faces either, and won't recognize me, and I'm always shocked when someone recognizes me online from something they saw years ago.

Your face looks very different in a lot of pictures

Maybe because your face is harder to pin down you have a less compressed internal representation of faces so it’s harder for your brain to encode others faces easily into memory I have some notes on a paper that dives into this more deeplyhttps://roamresearch.com/#/app/public-notes/page/59l9lxp2X …

I know it’s completely unrelated, but parts of this tweet make it sound like you are talking about the spiritual practice of “headlessness” and are preaching Zen mantras.

For me, this is such a problem that it has ruined newly-forming friendships. If I see you out of context, I often have no ability to remember your face.

Like you are just bad with faces or you have Prosopagnosia? That’s a fascinating thing.

I don't know? I'm good at recognizing faces for people who are regularly near me, but bad if it's irregular or new. For example I met a homeless guy who invited me to go spray painting. I ran back home to get stuff and when I returned to the street I didn't know which one was him

People tend to assume that their strengths and weaknesses apply to other people in general.

I'm very good with faces, but terrible with names, to the point where I don't remember the names of people i see at work every day. It doesn't help that everyone at works knows me. Its embarrassing!
