    This happened to me last week, someone waved at me super excitedly at the supermarket. I panicked, smiled back, and said “Hey, it’s been a while!” Still have no clue who they were. 🤷‍♀️✨

    “sorry I may have told you this before but I have a pretty serious memory issue, remind me how I know you?”

    It took me 3 decades before I realised this kept happening because I have prosopagnosia. Now whenever I meet someone knew, I try to explain it to them.

    “Hi! I know your face but I’m embarrassed to say I can’t place you. How do I know you again?”

    I greet them back and then wonder off.
