A tumblr post: @unpretty says: did cinderella ever talk to her man about his faceblindness @bisexuhowl reblogs with: #I met the perfect woman but it was a special occasion # so now wherever she is her makeup and hair are probably different'#this is my nightmare' rip prince charming, who had to let the whole kingdom make jokes about his foot fetish for the rest of his life because every blonde with an updo looks basically the same as far as he can tell they call him prince charming because he's always really polite to strangers to cover for the fact that he doesn't know if he's supposed to recognize them from somewhere and when you're a prince that shit starts wars

TIL I'm helping out by never changing my wardrobe.

Sidenote: I'm not face blind (I struggle with names instead), but I also sometimes struggle with recognizing people I only met once if I see them in a new context. Possibly because my brain doesn't fully commit people to memory unless I meet them at least twice. This is a problem, because people recognize me after meeting me once, and it makes for awkward second interactions.

I actually used to learn names by associating the face with the faces of other people I knew with the same name. In the area I lived at the time, it wasn't uncommon to know multiple people with the same given name, so this helped quite often. Now I live in an area where there is very little overlap, and my brain seems to have fully abandoned that approach, even when I meet someone sharing a name with someone I know.

Thankfully, hearing someone's given name often jolts my memory and I suddenly remember the full name. That's at least somewhat redeeming after the initial awkwardness.
