It’s like when I want to see what time it is so I pull out my phone, look at the screen, and put it back. Then I realize I didn’t actually look at the time so I have to do it again.

I feel like I’m so preoccupied with trying to act like a normal person my brain can’t save new data.

Instead of trying to act like a normal person you should just try to be yourself, only better.

In my experience, it’s literally impossible to recall someone’s name after you ask them what their name is.

That’s science, of some sort…

The way to remember it is to immediately use it after they say it, either just repeating it, or using it in the next sentence. And then use it again when you say goodbye to them.

There’s no guarantee it’ll stick, but it’s much more likely than just trying to remember it.

Such a weird reaction from the girl - likely dodged a bullet.

At this point if I should know you then I just pretend I know your name until I can ask someone else discreetly.

I actively try to be better about this now, asking waiters or people you come across in every day life helps build the habit.
