does anybody else experience this problem with people who just can’t seem to remember your name… or who just can’t seem to care to remember your name. i always found this really rude… i couldn’t tell if people were doing this on purpose or not. i mean, i always took the effort to learn people’s names, even if i don’t talk to them, and i do know many people’s names. but they’d just look at me funny. … like, who the hell are you? i find this trend really popular among Americans too. i mean, my name is an easy, one syllable, common name, and they’re just like, i can’t remember your name! even foreigners and international students can remember my name the second they meet me. i guess i’m just because it’s so easy for me to remember names, but nobody seems to care enough to remember me. i mean, i’m in their class, for christ’s sake! they’re either crappy observers or people who think they’re way too important to remember another human being. gosh.



I can never remember people’s names. It’s the only thing I have trouble with and I have to keep asking. Don’t take it personally but your name isn’t top priority for most people.
