I figured out why I’m bad at remembering peoples names. I’ve been meeting a lot of new people and have a habit of not really paying attention to their names and forgetting it. Just realized it’s because I’m so focused on not stuttering saying my name, that I blank out when remembering theirs. Just so weird it all makes sense now haha.
