I have extremely limited ability to recognize faces. I’m very good with voices. I’m very good at recognizing people by how they walk. I can do body shapes pretty well. These are ways I compensate. But I’ve been known to walk down the sidewalk, look into a reflective window and not know that I’m looking at myself.

“I’m very good at recognizing people by how they walk.”

Yes, I do that too. I once recognized a gal I had worked with years before walking down the street behind her. But I gotta say, she had the ultimate “walk this way” sexy walk. I knew her immediately!

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with limited facial recognition ability.
