I was surprised to read on one of the background sites that women with prosopagnosia often don't wear make-up. I never have and I guess I never really thought...
I used to wear makeup b/c my dad didn't like me to go without it. He's all into appearance and stuff. Now I wear makeup, sometimes, when going to school (2...
I was very surprised to find that, when I told my husband of this site and condition, he was very skeptical. It led to a recital of all the embarassing...
My husband's the same. When I can't recognize actors in the same movie "Is that XYZ guy?" he just answers but won't believe I'm face blind. ;-) Ah well. Jen ...
... I've never had that problem. Granted, some people have seen I have a lot on the web on the subject, but I've never had that problem even among those who...
No make up here. At 53 that may not be that odd in some of my circles because a lot of woman my age in the same type of church/social setting familar to this...
I have a distinct indentity crisis some days. I do not rember to sign my post until after I hit send (and yes I have preveiwed some of my messages first and...
Ditto to the jewelry. I wear a necklace that my husband gave me our first Christmas of a heart and a lock/key "You have my heart" - but that is for sentimental...
From: "D K" ... this also happens to me a lot!! about make up: i don't use make up, i guess i think it's a waste of time. Moreover, now that i know about face...
Interesting! I do not wear makeup. But when I go to work, I will put eyeliner over just my top eyelids so that I "fit in with society's expected norms". I...
I've worn the same gold necklace for about 4 years. Never have taken it off...I can't figure out where the clasp is or how to undo it without being able to...
I only recognized my mother with her makeup on...because of the lips. Without makeup, I recognised the voice, and wondered, who is this person who sounds like...
Interesting - I hate bright lipstick. WILL NOT wear it. At all. When I see myself in it I feel like a freak with only lips. I only wear very natural-looking...
I wish I had your hair! Mine is slightly curly. For years all I did with it is pull it back into a bun-ish thingy, and then recently I had someone teach me how...
do you wear make-up? *** No, I don't like the feel of make-up on my skin. Until three years ago, when I started wearing Clinique on sunny days, only, as a sun...
Jen, It sounds like you have found the true key to a long lasting relationship! One person or the other, being opposites on the mirror thing works so well. As...
Sometimes I think I can't see faces b/c I don't really care to do so. I'm an introvert, and while many introverts are very friendly (and so am I), I *really*...
Hi, I am only mildly face-blind (or should I say moderately). I don't picture my family's faces when I'm not with them, but I do recognize them when I see...
I have the answer to this one, finally! :) The egg came first...reptiles were laying eggs long before chickens came into existence... ... Seriously, you have...
Good point! I don't remember what he's wearing usually, but he has only one pair of sneakers that he loves, and when I'm looking for him I go down the aisles...
That's all I get in my mind's eye, too. Parts and pieces, never the whole face. I see a cleft in the lower lip, I see the angle of the eye lids,(but not his...
When you are away from your house can you see the descriptive details of it? Do you see pieces of it in your mind's eye - like the windows, the landscape, but...
... *** Perhaps. Or You have adapted to your situation and you have adopted techniques to identify people--as we all here have. *** *** I don't picture my...
I can see my house and others just fine. I can see the details of the rooms in my friend's houses. I can smell the perfume of the lady at work in my...
But also know that I can't see faces in my minds eye no matter how hard I try. Can you see your husband's face in your mind when he's not around? *** I can...
I can't remember objects very well - similar to my recollection of faces. I can smell perfeclty - and remember that. I remember music so well I can tell which...
With the music lyrics, I would guess that it depends on how clear the singer is. Music today (and I use the word "music" very loosely) is so scrambled and...
