My 'quirks' were actually face blindness - do you suffer too?

The article from MSN discusses the personal experience of a woman named Sarah, who discovered she has prosopagnosia, commonly known as face blindness. Sarah recounts how she often failed to recognize people she had met before, which led to social awkwardness and misunderstandings. Initially, she thought her inability to remember faces was due to personal quirks or inattentiveness. However, after learning about face blindness, she realized that her brain processes facial information differently, making it difficult for her to recognize faces, even those of close friends and family. The article explains that face blindness affects about 2% of the population and can range from mild to severe. It also touches on how Sarah's diagnosis has helped her cope better with social interactions by informing others about her condition, thus reducing the embarrassment and confusion in social settings. The piece concludes by encouraging readers to consider if they might also have undiagnosed face blindness and to seek understanding or diagnosis if they experience similar issues.
