      They probably only remember that they forgot after 19 seconds, the actual forgetting is likely much faster

    Sometimes I have these dreams where I’m dating someone and I forget their name.

    There was an old Seinfeld episode about this. I’m guessing it’s not just me.

    If you forget only the name, that’s cool. I also forget people’s faces. Talking with kids parents: “Hi! I’m [name] -Huh! I know!” -_-’

    It’s weird but that’s, like, the only thing I’m good at remembering. I’ve pretty much remembered the name of everyone that has told me but if you ask me why I haven’t taken out the trash yet it will be “sorry, I forgot” for about half the day and still might forget to do it.

    I have made a habit of writing down somebody’s name immediately after i met them on a notes app on my phone. This way i remember it better but also i can look it up in case i do end up forgetting it anyways.
