I have an unusual name so when I meet new people my brain focuses on their reaction to my name and how they pronounce it, so I completely zone out when they tell me their name. I might remember it for a short time but almost always I forgot their name if I don’t interact with them frequently.

I forget even important names, and people are shocked when they see I can't tell them who X is, and I have to come up with some excuse as to why I couldn't say it 🫣

I don't even know my doctor's name 😅

Happened to me at the dentist and it was so embarrassing.
