Sorry if this topic is stupid, I feel very stupid right now. I got transferred to a new department and I’ve had 2 or 3 clashes with the new boss about me not getting the hint. He finally gave me a metric, a number to get to. He spelled it out. I can do that, but I’m just freaking out that he’s gonna fire me because I couldn’t get the clue until today.

    I’ve been screamed-at, in an office-lobby, by my supervisor, for not recognizing people by their faces.

    I’m face-blind, and only know that because of that series-of-incidents.

    I didn’t know, until my mid-30’s, that ANYBODY ANYWHERE could ever recognize people just by their faces.

    Absolutely stunning.

    I recognize people by their being where they’re supposed to be, the way they move, their voice, their clothing, all together, and usually I can recognize 'em, if I’ve seen 'em recently-enough.

    That normals can recognize people only by seeing a face??

    too weird.
