It's not actually a diagnosis, but it's true I have a terrible memory for faces. I have met her friends and spent hours talking to them, and yet if I had to try to picture their faces in my mind, I wouldn't be able to.
I once was so proud of myself for crawling out of my introvert shell and going up to a woman at some lesbian event and introducing myself. I was congratulating myself at being proactive in making new friends, but she was highly insulted. Turns out I'd sat next to her at some other event and talked to her at length, so she assumed we were already friends! *facepalm*
Another time I sat next to an acquaintance at a lesbian film and said, "Oh hi, so nice to see you here! How have you been?" And then found out she thought I was trying to hit on her, because apparently we'd never met. *sigh* 😖 🤭
Oh well, I'm sure I do have other good qualities!
