I have this thing going on in my head that I have to remember everybodys name I meet knowing darn well I can't do it . I go as far as writing their name down thinking it may help me to remember their name the next time I see them sound's kind of goofey I know . I admit I have a touch of OCD and have a lot going on as most people do but man this name thing drive's me a little nutty at time's if I think about it to much , is it normal to try to remember everbodys name ? Like I've heard people say they can't remember what they had for lunch , me being one of them .

    The way you describe it this doesn't sound normal. I mean do you run into a lot of people in your life who tell you their name? I mean I just feel that you're going drastically out of your way to remember someone who you probably won't run into again. I mean if it's friends or coworkers then yeah sure, but strangers, I just feel it unnecessary. However, i imagine that some of these people do include coworkers, in that case then I don't really know what to say since I don't have any tips on improving memory. Also I think it's slightly normal then to want to remember a coworker's name, but writing their name down when you instantly hear doesn't sound normal to me.

    People don't always realize it but they love it when one calls them by their name. Though this may be an OCD thing for you, it is a good thing, as long as you don't let it become an obstacle in your life.

    This happens to me a lot. I always forget people's names when they talk to me or I want to talk to them. It's very awkward.

    It's way too late now, but that is one thing I would have loved to learn when I was younger. I'd do as you do, writing my charter guests name on my arm, just to keep them straight. It's embarrassing and really rude not to remember people's names, but I remember every boat I've ever seen. Sad don't you think?
