I have such severe issues with recognizing people that nobody believes it’s possible. For instance, you know that guy who interviews me every week? I talked to him for an hour today. And not only am I completely unable to imagine his face, I can’t even say if he has facial hair or what color eyes he has or does he wear eyeglasses. Which I assume he does because everybody does at this age. Bit I don’t have a specific memory of it.
On the other hand, I remember by heart large portions of texts that I read 20 years ago. And I remember where in the book they were located. And where on a page.
It takes me years to remember the faces of my lab workers. Every time I discover what I think is a complete stranger at the front desk, and people have to tell me, “It’s Pedro. You didn’t recognize Pedro? He’s been with us for 3 years.” And to me, he’s a complete stranger.

I’m the same. Plus, I also forget names, including of people that I meet on a regular basis. Does anyone have any plausible explanation?
