...See more I didn't see this one listed so I thought I would add it. I have had this since I was 16. It is commonly know. As face blindness. I can look at a face and see the difference in gender but that's about all. I can't look at a photo of someone without other features such as hair or body being seen and recognize who they are. Even with pictures of myself I can't identify them. This makes it hard to meet with friends at a coffee shop or bar because everyone is a stranger unless I have known you for awhile and can learn your voice, clothing style, hair style, and gait. It makes life pretty scary sometimes and frustrating for me and others. I don't know how many have this or if this even made sense. I just thought I would share.
