First, thanks all! Second, sorry for I led the discussion away. Okay, here I will explain a little further.
Suppose, I deliver a presentation before 10 people whom I will meet afterwards. First time they tell their name and I don’t remember. When we meet later, perhaps individually, I ask their name again and somehow I don’t remember some names or forgot after awhile. Few times, I have asked people their name a couple of times and I still don’t remember. I feel embarrassed next time we meet and I cannot recall their name; so I don’t ask again. This way, I have acquaintances of more than 100 people (may be 200); but hardly 50 or so names I can recall.
I understand, I may not remember 60 or 70 names in first go, but what bothers me is when I ask the same person his or her name a couple of times and I cannot remember their name.
I know I am a slow learner. I don’t think I have some serious problem with my memory; I can recall some of the things quite vividly right from my childhood to this day. The problem is with remembering and associating names.
