I'm genuinely incapable of remembering anything unless it's repeatedly drilled into me multiple times. And even then, that sometimes fails me.
I'm especially terrible with names. I will forget names all of the time. My friend has recently been pushing me to watch more anime with him considering that I actually have watched very few despite my total weebness. I, of course, with nothing really better to do, have watched multiple anime over the past few months. One of the most recent shows I watched was Code Geass, and all throughout the show I was forgetting the names of pretty core characters.
It was so bad, in fact, that on one of the NEARLY LAST EPISODES, I couldn't recall the name of one of the main girls that has been in nearly every single episode. I believe I was commenting on something I was confused about to my friend, but couldn't remember the girl's name—so I just referred to her as the 'red hair one.' My friend unironically thought I was talking about one of the newer girls that had pink hair and that I was just colorblind or something, but when he realized I was literally failing to remember the name 'Kallen,' he couldn't help but be amused that I could forget such a thing.
I really don't know why, I'm just bad at memorizing things. Things like prior episode details will just completely slip my mind and I'll be forced to try to completely reconstruct the plot in order to comprehend what's going on. I unironically believe that this is a symptom of my low-IQ and really makes me wonder why I didn't question it earlier.
I'm ashamed to say it, but there are even users on here that will change their name and profile picture, and I often can't recognize them at all. It will literally take me months to figure out that this person is the same person I was friends with a few months ago. There's a lot of people who I interact with that speak to me with familiarity, and I can't help but feel ashamed to admit that I have no prior recollection of speaking with them so closely. That's why I often find myself wishing that there were user 'aliases' or 'notes' that you could attach to people...
