Have you ever been forgotten? Or have ever forgotten someone's name and don't know how to tell them? I myself have forgotten a lot of my friends names after not seeing them for half a year or so and it was really awkward when I had to ask my other friend who's this guy again? And he said it outloud. So what about you guys I myself have never been fogotten but I tend to forget names occasionally.

i'm pretty awful with names. every school year i'll make at least one friend that i don't learn their name until 2/3 months later. i'll usually learn it by looking at their paper or whenever the teacher calls role. i think i do a pretty good job of hiding the fact that i don't know people's names.

Everyone seems to remember me because I'm tall and have very blond hair, which is kind of frustrating because I'm terrible with names and don't have a great memory overall. Also, I have terrible vision, so seeing people I know/am acquainted with in public is hilaribad because whether I know the person or not they're probably wondering "why is she staring at me???"

I am the worst person when it comes to names.

If we meet, and you tell me your name, I will forget it like 10 minutes later. It's nothing against anyone, I swear, it's just how I've always been. ;___; I have to be around you at least for a week+ before I start to memorize people's names.

It sucks because I remember when one of my former supervisors would talk to me about our old co-workers and I would barely remember any of them mostly because I meet so many people on a regular basis that it's way too many names to remember, rip.
I am even worse. It doesnt matter how many people I meet a day, or on a regular basis- I will forget everyone's name. I can barely even say my best friend's name without screwing it up and calling him someone else. It has literally gotten to the point where almost the whole class knows I dont remember anyone's name, and its a joke between everyone, even ones I barely know. I also have trouble memorizing the names of TV show, video game, and movie characters.

It is kind of ironic because I generally have very good memory.

As for forgetting me, no one forgets me. I am fairly tall at 6'1 and have a really long double name, which I will not share.

I suck at names and I have no shame in asking again.

There are billions of people in the world and I can barely remember mine and my fav character's name. Don't take it personal.

As I am a robot, I am incapable of dreaming, but... how shall I put it? I have very much longed to

There have been occasions when I really missed some people's name. Sadly those people thought I was pretending/acting rude. lol So when that happens again, usually I call the forgotten ones buddy.

I'm pretty sure I've been forgotten before. I don't have any examples, but I'm sure it's happened. Although I have had people forget my name before, and not just one person. Those I do have examples of, I've had people keep wanting to call me "Rebecca" or "Crystal" because they swear that's my name and they've forgotten my actual name...ah ha. Actually, I feel like several people have insisted I should be a Rebecca. Not sure why.

As for me forgetting names, uh. Well, if I can actually remember your name in the first place, I'm not likely to forget it. But I do have the problem of I'll be able to remember a face, but the name attached to the face will slip my mind so easily...and of course by that point it might be super awkward to ask a person again what their name is. So I just kind of wing it and hope I hear the name again to be able to commit it to memory. :P And if I don't, uh. Well. I'll keep on winging it, I guess.

people that i went to school with several years ago before moving multiple times never recognize me (with the exception of two out of who-knows-how-many) and i remember practically all of them. it kind of sucks finding some of them on social media and speaking to them, only for very few to recognize me. i didn't think i had a very forgettable face or name, but helloiguessso

I am absolutely awful with remembering names. Awful.

I can remember a face pretty well, but unless I'm constantly forced to hear and/or say your name, chances are we will go a very long time without me remembering it. I'm just glad we happen to speak a language that is often very informal, and I can address someone with a simple, "hey!"

I'm usually good at remembering names, but be gone for too long and there's a chance I might forget it.

I meet a lot of people when I'm drunk so yes this is a problem for me
This is the post I was waiting for. I'm generally OK with names when I'm just meeting one or two people at a time, but meeting groups of people while drunk makes the challenge impossible.

parents who knew me when I was like 9 years old like to come into my work and say things like "OH MY GOD REMEMBER ME!!!" "MY YOU'VE GROWN!!" "ITS BEEN YEARS SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU!!"

and since I am uneducated in the social norms of handling a situation like that I always say something like "haha.. who are you?"

Yeah, that's something that happens with me pretty regularly while on college campus. I don't remember the names of a lot of people that I see commonly.

I'm ok with names, I guess? Like most, i'm fine if i'm just being introduced to a couple of new people at a time but i'm hopeless in group situations.

Also remembering names does not happen when drunk. Ever.

I never forget names. Never. If you tell me your name I will never forget it.
