Edit: I was able to edit the typos I made in the title!
Would it, though?

Literally every encounter i ever had. Like i couldn't hear the name but only realise that few minutes later.
I need that for people I've known for years and suddenly blank on their name. So frustrating
I feel seen.
I know myself so well that when I meet someone and am told their name, I just tell them right away that I will forget it and have to ask again in two minutes.
I like this strategy! If the person is nice about it, then you know they're compassionate. If they take it personal, then it's probably someone I would like to avoid building a relationship with.
Sometimes i wish that we would have some type of assistent, like Siri or Google's Assistant. Listening and helping you out to remember stuff. Like if privacy would not be a concern, that would be great :)
