Face blindness probably operates on a spectrum. I too aren’t face blind, but often struggle to remember the names of infrequent contacts until I get some other prompt, like vocal recognition.
I assume this is less of a genetic problem, but related to having undiagnosed myopia as a child when perhaps facial recognition pathways are in a critical development stage.
