That's relatable, I'm kind of the same way. I'm absolutely awful at remembering facial (or any) features and I sometimes wonder if it's related to my aphantasia since I can't really picture anything or anyone in my head
Could be. I dont think my wife has much of a mind's eye either. But she was a cancer kid and also had a viral flare up in her eyes while she was immuno-comprimised on chemo that hurt her eyesight pretty bad when she was like 2 or 3. Her eyesight has actually improved significantly over her life as her retinas healed, but it is still pretty bad. I think everything was blurry for her when that part of her brain was supposed to be developing that recognizes faces so it just compensated best it could. Anyway, typical asshole husband, I give the former cancer kid a hard time sometimes about her disability. Out of love.
