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.
My husband’s boss’s wife always does this to me. So I say something stupid like ‘oh I’m the third wife’ or ‘just the girlfriend, wife is out of town.’
You see me at least once a month, you know who I am .

Why is it socially acceptable to be “terrible with names”
I think this will only become more and more prevalent with electronic communication. When you communicate electronically, you always have the name on your phone, so there is no incentive to remember.

You aren't acting like a good Catholic with this post.
Wait nvm, you are.

anytime I meet an attractive woman I purposely forget her name. It subconsciously makes me desirable to them because they think im a challenge to obtain because most people remember their names immediately on account of their hotness. thats a little tip to help you out with the hotties.
I mean it hasnt worked for me yet but I feel like its guaranteed at some point.

You dumbass,
That’s a compliment. It means you’re relevant enough that the person wants to make sure they have your name right.
The alternative is they could see you again and not give a frick what your name is.

You are very wrong buddy. I’m sure you think whatever you have going on in that little noggin of yours seems important. More important than people you are talking to that you’ve deemed inferior for some self righteous reason. But it’s not. And you are not. You sound like a grumpy old man that after years of life, still doesn’t know how to communicate with other humans. Get lost loser.

Because it is literally a thing
I can remember a face the place and the conversation no problem, but grasp at the name later.
I never forget a face. I can watch a movie and immediately recognize an obscure actor from a show 10 years ago. My wife thinks it’s crazy
I will probably never remember her friends husbands name after a couple of dinners though.
I am not choosing what to remember

Depends on how many people you encounter on a regular basis. For some it's just not feasible to learn or store so many names--especially if you don't deal with those people consistently.

Because nobody gives a frick about your boring arse. You're not as important as you think you are.

Because I don’t care what your name is. I didn’t want to talk to you the first time. That’s why.

Life is easier when you DGAF about meaningless bullshite. Try it.

I agree with you to a certain extent.
When people say they aren’t good with names what they mean is, remembering names is not a skill they work on.
But the reality is that if you were important to them then they would remember your name.

This is most people and I don’t take it personally because I reciprocate the feeling. It’s not vicious but until you get to know someone personally and find there’s common ground, you usually don’t care.

Some people have social anxiety and they get nervous when the meet new people and the name doesn’t register. It’s something you can work on, but it can be like a stutter. The brain skipping ahead when nervous.
Some people can’t speak in public. Others get nervous in other situations. It could be laziness and that they don’t care. It could also be the complete opposite. Best to take a moment to figure it out and not judge too harshly at first.
Everyone can improve, though. It’s a skill worth working on.

It’s a sign of people being lazy and uninterested
