Seriously? Do you have trouble telling people apart when you go out?

If I'm introduced to someone, I won't recognize them if I see them out somewhere later, unless I spend time with them regularly or there is something about them that stands out, and I almost always forget names, too...When I was younger, if I saw one of my teachers outside of the classroom (like at the store or something) I didn't recognize most of them, only a couple that I really liked...I once saw my ex Biology teacher at Bigg's and I called him by the name of Seri's pediatrician, I really thought it was him...He said, "It's me, Mr. Straub"...I always remembered the name 'Mr. Straub' because of Peter Straub, but I had put the wrong face with the name :(...Right after I graduated, I was at Sam's Wholesale Warehouse, and a guy who worked there came up the me and said "Hey, remember me?"...I had no idea who he was...So, he said his name and that he was captain of the football team (so I thought to myself 'WHY would I know who this guy is?'), and he continued to try to explain to me who he was, and how I should know him (through other people I knew at school), I said "I'm really sorry, I just don't remember"...He said, "Oh well, that's ok, it was nice seeing you anyway"...My mother was with me and she said "I wouldn't have forgotten him, he's gorgeous!" lol...I dunno, I guess now that I think about it, it's kinda weird...
Now you have prompted me to check out some psychological issues based on face recognition :p
