Game of Thrones is even harder for me to follow than it should be! DH makes fun of me all the time. It's not good for my profession either..: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110276 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:43:01 +0000 Purpledaisy 2110276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm awful. DH says that I have face blindness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110207 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:15:12 +0000 erinpye 2110207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weirdly good with faces. I will always recognize a face I've seen before. When DH and I went to the Bahamas 7 years ago, as we waited to board the last leg of our flight in FL, I passed a guy as he was coming out of the bathroom and I was going in. I instantly realized it was Ryan Cabrera, even though he had a grungy look and dark hair, and I'd only ever seen him on TV, clean-cut and blonde. DH didn't believe me, until I made him Google him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110203 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:14:02 +0000 Shutterbug 2110203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: "Oh, look there's Ludacris sitting on that bench over there." I wish we had a cry-laugh emoji! LOL!</p> <p>I'm good with recognizing a face as familiar, but not as good with remembering who the person is or where I know them from. I am a constant IMDBer while watching movies/TV because I can't pay attention until I remember what I know that guy from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110108 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:31:38 +0000 sunny 2110108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrible. I have a hard time with faces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110080 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:17:40 +0000 Corduroy 2110080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I have a touch of whatever that condition is that makes you unable to recognize faces. I cannot watch movies about people that are supposed to look similar, like brothers, because I can't follow the story. Give me some diversity or at least different colored hair. I'm especially bad with white men so pretty much no British period pieces for me. I'm not nearly as bad in person but still not good at all. </p> <p>DH is on the opposite side of the spectrum. He should work for the CIA or a casting agency. He recognizes people everywhere we go. Everything from "There's the waitress from the diner we ate at once" to "Oh, look there's Ludacris sitting on that bench over there." He is always right too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110064 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:12:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2110064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm embarrassingly good. I always feel like a tool because people look at me like I'm crazy when I remember every detail of dumb conversations and they can't remember that we've even met. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110049 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:03:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 2110049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can do faces, but names...no way. I'm awful, even people I've meet many times, it's not that I don't care I just can't remember! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110039 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:58:42 +0000 Mrs. Train 2110039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can recognize faces but have a terrible time with names. When I was teaching and had 250 students it was my goal to learn their names by 2 weeks and it took all my brain power to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2110025 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:52:01 +0000 Mama Bird 2110025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really awful! I think it's genetic, my dad can't recognize faces either :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2109955 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:25:46 +0000 autumnlove 2109955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2109953 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:24:31 +0000 Caly 2109953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't forget a face! And sometimes it drives me crazy trying to place someone sometimes years later. DH thinks I'm crazy when I tell him someone looks familiar...but I'm always right in the end. Terrible with names, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2109949 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:21:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 2109949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Faces - very.

Sometimes it takes awhile to come up with the name though, or the place we met if it is just an acquaintance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2109860 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:24:47 +0000 Mamaof2 2109860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Faces? Yes</p> <p>Names? Not at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-faces#post-2109855 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 08:23:43 +0000 mrbee 2109855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so bad at recognizing faces! Recently at the playground, some random guy said hello to me by name... but I had no memory of meeting him before. So I played along until I remembered that I had met him at a recent birthday party for a mutual friend's daughter. The whole conversation was a disaster since I was so preoccupied trying to place where I had met him before.</p> <p>I'm trying to get better with faces, but I'm not very visual so it's not easy. If you have any tips, I'd love to hear them!</p> <p>Are you good at recognizing faces? </p>
