If you forget a name your social skills are lacking.
Or maybe someone has a lot on their mind, or they're sick, or they are older, or any number of things that have little to do with social skills.
Or maybe their social skills ARE lacking and it's something they can't really do a lot about because everyone is wired differently.
I'm not great with names- and if I am making extra effort to pin your face and name together, chances are I won't hear much else you've said.

Just wait until you don't give a violent, mentally ill progressive their correct pronoun. You are in for a real treat. Can't wait to read your OP then.
I've found a very good way to remedy that. I just tune out if they start conversations with, "My pronouns are"-----------------I end the conversation because I'm not listening to any bullshite that comes out your mouth.

My go-to solution…
Me: “Hey what was your name?”
Doug: “Doug.”
Me: “No, Doug I meant your last name.”
Doug: “Las.”
Me: “I really thought I grew up with someone with that last name but maybe not.”

I am awful with names.
I have the memory of a jellyfish.
It’s laughable.
HOWEVER, when I had my insurance agency and had roughly 3k clients, I could remember their addresses, their premiums, what kind of cars they had, etc. it was nothing short of amazing.
Point being, I think when people are incentivized, for whatever reasons (be they selfish, monetary, altruistic, etc), memory steps up.

You talk with someone new, introduce yourself to them and they do the same. Later in the function that person will say what is your name again. I was talking to you and told you my name, listen better please. Don’t just zone out when I talk to you. I used to not care about this but I am growing increasingly less tolerant of this. One time I told a person my name twice and I still got a “what is your name again” later in the function. Like what the heck lol.

I'm terrible at remembering names. Lots of people are. At a social event, there's no way I'm remembering the names of a dozen people I just met.

Maybe you're just a forgettable person.

The fact that you worry about this so much tells me already that you are a try-hard.

I forget peoples names who I see regularly. It's not purposeful and I legitimately try to be better at it but I'm not good at it.
My fiancè on the other hand will remember someone randomly we met for 2 min.
Some people's brains are just wired to remember certain things better than others.

If someone can't remember your name in the same conversation, you're not important to them at all
If I've met you exactly one time. Then no, you aren't that important to me. That's nothing personal. It's just realistic. Do you have any idea how many people in life I've met one time?

Because I’m obviously not worth remembering so who cares
Plus I hate ppl

I wanna punch someone when they say that to me. It’s the same as saying you’re not important enough to remember. It’s so rude and low class.
Posted on 11/8/25 at 11:24 am to philly444
OMG who even cares?!?
Posted on 11/8/25 at 11:31 am to philly444
I’m sorry. Who are you again? I recognize your avi but can’t place your name to save my life.
