The neurological disorder that prevents you from recognizing faces, how is this possible? What would it look like?
In: Biology
An amusing anecdote, I wouldn’t have thought this was a thing either till i tried helping hand out id photo cards. Normally when they’re pre-printed its pretty easy someone comes in gives you their name and you pull it out of the alphabetized box. But when you grab them straight out the printer after a 2-3 min delay in between and you have 5 of them in hand its surprisingly hard to quickly pick the right person out of a crowd of 10-15 people you’ve never met. I don’t consider myself bad at remembering people’s though seeing someone in an unexpected place does trip me up from time to time. But that scenario left me feeling a bit overwhelmed and embarrassed when i couldn’t get it right. Luckly i only goofed once or twice and it was no big deal just hand them the other card that looks very similar but after hundreds of faces they really all start to look the same if there aren’t some really unique features. Too many people wear the same hair style and when they put on a coat or something in the mean time shirt style doesn’t help.
