  • Huh, I never knew the word for it. Thank you.

    My wife has said many times, to me and others, that she thinks I have a form of face blindness. I don’t think I do.

    It came up because every time someone said something like “doesn’t X look like Y when they were little?”, and I’d respond that I don’t see it. So many people say my kids are a splitting image of me… Nope, I don’t see that.

    I recognise people I know in photos, new or old photos, usually without issue.

    I do however often think an actor is someone they aren’t. “Hey, is that the person from this other movie”, my wife: “what?! No! They don’t even look alike”. And sometimes I’ll ask her if a random person looks like this or that person, usually with the same response, sometimes a strange look and “are you feeling ok?”.

    Anyway, these guys should team up on a project. /s













  • I sent my referral to the psychiatrist office and mostly forgot. Then I was talking to someone about looking at getting a diagnosis and went, “actually I sent a referral a couple months ago. I wonder what happened with that. I should probably follow that up”,narrator: He didn’t.

    They called me though a couple weeks after that. But my thought on the subject was, maybe that’s the first part of the diagnosis process. If you can remember you have started organising it, you’re off to a bad start.
