I have a lot of issues recognizing faces and I don't know why.
As I've mentioned, I love true crime stuff and I love reading about unsolved cold cases and I've come across pictures of victims and people showing other pictures, trying to solve their identity and they'll say "This looks just like them!" "This person has the same nose!" and I...can't tell xD
I often have to ask others if the people look the same because I genuinely can't tell.
And it's not like faces are blurry or anything weird - I just can't recognize them.
When it comes to trash tv and "You're The Father!" where people say "This baby looks just like him!" and I...can't tell. It looks like a baby.
I just find it really sucky that I have issues recognizing faces xD
Like...it shouldn't be hard for me to do that.
I mean, I recognize my close family's faces, but extended family, people I see at the store a lot, famous people, random other people - I can't recognize their faces.
Even when my mom shows me old family photos, I don't know these people.
She get annoyed and tells me I do know them and I don't xD
My mom, however, NEVER forgets a face. You can show her a baby photo of any actor or actress and she'll know who it is instantly. She even saw this missing person poster I was looking at from the 70s and she said "I remember seeing that girl's posters!"
I am honestly amazed that she can remember and recognize faces.
It's a really amazing gift .__.
There are a few cases where I do remember faces. Mostly because they were shitty people.
As I mentioned, I love true crime and I will see a person's mugshot and remember exactly who they were and what they did.
It doesn't always happen, but it does happen.
Can you recognize faces?
