Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Can you match people's faces with their names?
Especially older folks!!! lol
I recognize the face, but I can't remember the name!
Don't you find that happens a lot??
That happens to me all the time.
It was already like that in my early 30s. I remember thinking, “Wow, I’m getting old!”
But it seems that's not actually the case.
I hear that humans are amazing at recognizing faces.
As far as facial recognition goes, it’s said to be able to recognize several thousand faces.
This is because, in the days before language existed, people recognized each other solely by their faces, so
Apparently, that part of the brain has developed.
So, the languages and scripts that appear later are just following in their footsteps.
I saw this person over there, but I can't remember their name!
And then, without being able to remember (or find out) their name, the meeting just sort of winds down, lol.
A few hours later, you’ll be like, “Oh! It’s [Name]!” lol
Apparently, people's names keep getting pushed deeper and deeper into the recesses of our brains.
It takes me a while to remember that name, even though I can recognize a face instantly.
Remembering names is just like studying—I remember them at the time, but
You tend to forget things after a certain amount of time.
I guess I should review them, but it’s hard to bring myself to review names, lol.
Apparently, this isn't something that declines with age.
Apparently, he's not old!
As you gain life experience, you meet all kinds of people. And you learn their names.
It seems that the more people you meet, the better you get at recognizing (remembering) their faces, but the more you tend to forget their names.
Do you remember?
This equation!
That's right!! It's inversely proportional!
(Face) I remember the face, but I've forgotten the name!
The more I see them, the more I remember their faces, but the more I see them, the more I forget their names...
The point is, people who are experiencing those symptoms are coming into contact with all kinds of people!!
That's why I don't remember the name!
This isn't just old age—it's the wisdom gained through experience.What?!
That just goes to show how often I’ve met people. (I won’t mention who I’ve met, lol.)
In that case, you'd better just say, "I've got way too much experience to remember your name!"
However, if possible, when younger people talk to someone who seems to have a lot of experience, they should say, “I met you at [place] a few years ago; I’m [name].”
Saying that would probably be a big help to people with more experience! (Please help me! lol)
To all you experienced folks out there! It's a good thing you're not old, isn't it!!
See you later.
