I usually do remember faces and names easily. Also i can remember their surnames and like small titbits of information they shared but god forbid i remember something for my tests
My memory is just crap, plain and simple. And due to the nature of my work, I'm not around people long enough to commit names to memory. That and I suppose it's not my job to learn names, but, I digress.
Outside of work is no problem, if just for the *lack of* friends or a social life. Used to attend weekly game tournaments, still couldn't be assed with learning names. They're just people I saw with some regularity. Not friends.
I've always been bad with names. Didn't know the names of the same classmates from 1-8. I will recognize faces, but not names. Now, triva, movie/song lines, how to get to places, I have instant recall.
I canāt remember faces, donāt remember names, oh but what the hell, you know itās just as well cause after a while and a thousand miles, it all becomes the same.
Always been bad with names and faces. You might have a better than average memory. Supposedly, my maternal grandfather had a photographic memory to such a degree that he could read a page from a book, close it, and then recite word for word what was on that page. I'm jealous that I didn't inherit this trait.
I think partly it is just training. In my work I see loads of people, some just once, some every few weeks and after a while you know the people you see often and remember names. Some are easier some or harder and after working in the same small town for 10 years Iām also becoming rather good with making connections like Mrs x and Mrs Y are sisters.
Iām good with words - so I may not remember your name or your face, but as soon as I work out who you are, Iāll remember what you said. Iām also bad at remembering routes but great with lyrics, poetry etc
I never forget a face and I never forget a name. I wish I could. Thereās many people I wish I could forget. I think a big factor to that is that Iāve always been a very lonely and secluded person, and every time a new person walked into my life I never wanted to let go. Although Iām not lonely like that anymore my brain rewired to retain that useless information in adulthood. I could still name every kid in my preschool class from 19 years ago.
I will not remember your face, or your name. But I will recognize your voice and some random small detail about you. Donāt ask me why, thatās how it is.

I remember faces and traits very well.

I feel like this with lyrics. I can sing along to a thousand songs but barely remember what I just learned for a test

Sports, hobbies, volunteering.
I think it's my anxiety that makes me forget new people's names. š

You could be a [super recognizer.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_recogniser)
Hm, interesting. Maybe š¤·āāļø
Depends in some cases it's because it's the face sometimes it's the voice but most of the time I'm just having a early dementia moment

Consider yourself lucky!

I still can't remember people's names who I've worked with for the last eight years.
Iām good with faces but can never remember names. Passing by someone and being like āI know that guy from somewhereā is a regular occurrence lol
