Face blindness

[Brem]

Have you ever met anyone who had or has face blindness? It's a real condition where someone has trouble remembering facing, going so far to forget the person because they can't recognize them by their face. I think some people can tell who it is via voice, but I imagine they could have trouble with voices too. I've never met anyone with face blindness, but I imagine there are a few people out there who do have it.

My husband said that he wouldn't be able to describe me to the police or a sketch artist if he were ever in a situation where he had to do that. I'm not sure if that's face blindness or is that something else.....

I haven't personally met anyone with face blindness, but it sounds like it could make everyday situations surprisingly difficult. I imagine recognizing people by their voice, hairstyle, clothing, or mannerisms becomes important. I also wonder how often people with it are mistaken for being rude or forgetful.
