I had no idea this thing of mine has an actual diagnosis. When I meet someone it can take me a few weeks or more to be able to visualize their face. My visualisation can be either a blur or the face of someone else. It's a trait that causes people to misinterpret me as self-absorbed, uninterested, a dick or someone with early-onset dementia. During college I worked seasonally at a couple retail jobs and I would often fail at recognizing the faces of repeat customers, making me look like another uncaring salesman. This morning I took my mother to get a coronary angiogram, and while in the waiting room I had a friendly conversation with a married couple for 30-some-odd minutes, and right now I cannot visualize their face.

Sorry to hear about your condition.
Not sure if it's Treatable or not.
Your G.P./P.C.P. may provide helpful details.
I personally forget faces & names.
My coping mechanism is Simple!
Treat every man like a King.
Every woman like a Queen.
Every kid like a Genius.
Every child like an Angel.
& Ofcourse transvestites are Gods!
Hence, wherever i may roam, i am surrounded by kings n queens n geinuses n angels n gods.
Pretty Heavenly!
ps - seems like last year was pretty tough for u, be happy, coz it could have been worse.
I Hope & Wish this year turns out to be Beautiful & Full of JoY for ya.
Tc!

Here is a video of a well-known Australian science communicator Dr Karl, talking about how he found out that he had prosopagnosia/face blindness (2.5 minutes).
- His colourful shirts are made by his wife - in a crowd, he can't find his family, but his family can easily find him!
I also have trouble recognising people out of their usual context....
