For me, it's the same, but I don't have memory for faces and my pitch is not that good, but I had no problem playing piano. I'm good at navigating with maps, but can't remember them easily, and I have a thing which is stereotypical for women: I can't remember which side is left and which is right, I mean calling them or parsing from a word which hand is which. I can show with hand on which side something is, but calling this side by name requires concentration.
- lfowles 11y ago> For me, it's the same, but I don't have memory for faces This is something that has always concerned me in general. I was worried for the first year I dated my now-wife that I would not be able to recognize her when meeting her at a crowded place. I wouldn't go so far as to say she would turn around and I couldn't recognize her, but the permanence just wasn't there.
- alsetmusic 11y agoFor the first couple of months of my most recent relationship I would meet my partner at the train station. I was always worried that I wouldn't recognize her in the crowd and she would somehow know. I also can't recall a person's name moments after I hear it. But I can do many other mental gymnastics that surprise my friends and family.
- lfowles 11y agoThinking about it further it only affects one lookup direction. Name -> Face is incredibly difficult for me, but Face -> Name is a lot easier (and really the reason I didn't need to worry as much as I did).
