    Then it doesn’t ring a bell.

    People remember different things because different things are important to different people.

    If the issue I have with remembering names, (I have tried multiple tricks to try and change that with no success) is going to upset someone who did remember details of a previous conversation, then the relationship is not going to have much success.

    If I am colour-blind and a person gets upset about it, there is nothing I can do and the problem is with them, not me.

      Yeah, fair point. The awkwardness definitely isn’t as big of a deal as it feels like in the moment.

      It’s still nightmare fuel imo, lol, but everybody’s different. I agree that it’s no reason to feel guilty or upset with someone, for sure.
