Re: Are You Better With Faces Or Names?

Sometimes I surprise myself by remembering peoples names and matching them to their faces, other times they are a complete blank to me, I find that very embarrassing and I'm not easily embarrassed in company. Another thing you find as you get older living in a well populated city is with children, well they were children and now they've grown into men and women, they remember you but you haven't a clue who they are when they say "Hello Mr. Jem, lovely day isn't it" you're left scratching your head "Who the hell was that?"

Faces - I'm fine, not much use without a name tho'
Same with me on that one. The tough part is knowing it's in there somewhere!

Re: Are You Better With Faces Or Names?

Hopeless at both, gets so embarrassing when someone come up to me and starts chinwagging away and im drawing a blank. Over the years ive developed quite a few body swerving answers to avoid the "Who are you" question.

Its so much worse when after they have gone and the brain kicks in and you remember them.

Re: Are You Better With Faces Or Names?

I have worked in three large telemarketing companies where you get
hundreds of people in one room even.
I could not remember all the names of people I have worked with.
I do remember faces though but as I have got older its trying to
remember which of these companies that face was in

Faces definitely! I have to get to know people well before I can remember their names.
