I couldn't get a couple of them but got most. How strange, I didn't know there was a real term for that. Wow that woman was REALLY good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638960 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:49:33 +0000 pui 638960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I was better at remembering people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638941 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:45:52 +0000 KayKay 638941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an uncanny ability to remember faces/names, even if I only met the person briefly. I agree that it's somewhat a blessing but can seem really creepy -- I find myself not acting on it a lot for fear of coming across like a stalker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638763 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:12:39 +0000 Bookish 638763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I am so bad with names and faces :( It's really embarrassing! One of my neighbors introduced herself a year ago, and I promptly forgot her name... shes 'heyy youuu' now :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638726 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:56:31 +0000 Happygal 638726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BetsyBoop: it's wild! Super recognizers is the term: <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504803_162-57399111-10391709/are-you-a-super-recognizer-take-a-test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504803_162-57399111-10391709/are-you-a-super-recognizer-take-a-test/</a></p> <p>They can recognize faces of people they met as adults from when they are babies. They showed a woman a picture of famous people's baby pictures. Some were easy to spot, but everyone was floored when she was able to identify Walter Cronkite as a little boy.</p> <p>On the flip side are people who cannot recognize anyone's face, even their own mothers. So strange how the brain works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638699 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:47:16 +0000 bpcmarj 638699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember everyone. My friends sometimes think it's creepy. I moved to a different town in 2nd grade, but took drivers ed at 16 in my old town. I remembered so many people even thoughit had been like 10 years and no one knew me. I think there aee several bees that I would recognize in real life, bloggers or otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638618 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:59:42 +0000 betsyboop 638618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Whoa I haven't seen that 60 minutes episode! Now I want to watch it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638599 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:44:17 +0000 autumnlove 638599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am good with faces and names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638596 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:42:30 +0000 Happygal 638596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember faces, not always names, and not always how I know a person. This happened the other day--I walked into a restaurant and both this girl and I smiled and said hi to each other, but no I have no idea where I know her from.</p> <p>@BetsyBoop: maybe you have one of those super face remembering memories! I saw this on 60 minutes--there are people who remember everyone they have ever met. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638577 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:20:25 +0000 heffalump 638577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm awful at it. Dhs cousin can remember anyone she's ever seen, even for a second on the street. And she can remember the date and place she saw them. She was on 20/20 for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638515 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:03:01 +0000 Sweet T 638515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember people but I don't usually approach them because I'm afraid they won't remember me. I try to avoid the whole awkward situation if I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638504 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:49:55 +0000 Boogs 638504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty good about remembering faces, but not necessarily names or where I know them from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-638099 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:20:05 +0000 Grace 638099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am terrible. I forget people's names almost immediatley after I meet them and I didn't recognize people from high school only 2 years after I graduated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-637976 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 19:31:14 +0000 anonysquire 637976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember everyone! Like people I met as a 6 yr old if I see them in a store I know them. I remember everyone's names I meet as well. It proves to be awkward though, I'll go up to them and say hi and they have no clue who I am. Then we start talking and I am say their name and their kids names or parents and they get creeped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-637949 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 19:24:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 637949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never recognize anyone. it's really bad in business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-637943 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 19:22:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 637943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recognize people and remember interesting things about them, but I'm terrible with names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-637856 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:50:40 +0000 betsyboop 637856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Can't. I'm not a good liar : P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-637855 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:49:45 +0000 mrbee 637855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: You should go into politics!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-recognizing-or-remembering-people#post-637854 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:48:46 +0000 betsyboop 637854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am (and that's how I recognized a HB blogger IRL today!). I pretty much remember everyone and can even recognize the most random people I haven't seen in 20+ years. </p> <p>DH is the complete opposite. He doesn't remember anyone and is always embarrassed when people have to re-introduce themselves to him. I wish I were more like him because sometimes it's embarrassing to be the one who remembers someone but that person doesn't remember me! Plus sometimes it can come off as creepy but I just have a really good memory when it comes to people.</p> <p>So that was long, but do you recognize or remember many people from your past? </p>
