Is it normal that i forget what i look like sometimes?

Sometimes I'll forget what I look like and if I don't have a mirror or something that I can look at myself in, I'll sit there for like ten minutes trying to remember what my face looks like.
Finally I'll remember what I kind of look like but when I look in a mirror I look different.
This just started happening to me like two weeks ago.
Is there something wrong with me?

    I do this often! I have photographic memory yet with my face and my loved ones there's something stopping me remember what they look like until I see them. It worries me as when one dies I will need a picture to remember them.

    i haven't had this happen. carry a mirror if you are a girl or a pic of yourself in your wallet or on your phone. if you don't remember how you look then you can't expect anyone else to, like someone you are interested in. you don't want to be that easy to forget unless you plan on being a career criminal ;)

    i have the same problem, although it's been this way as long as i can remember. for me it doesn't matter if i have a carry a mirror around unless i plan on staring at it constantly... the second i look away, i forget. it's starting to affect every aspect my life, i have severe social anxiety because of this. since i learned this is a condition that can sometimes be helped, i haven't been able to see a psychiatrist but i hope to soon... sorry i'm rambling, i never talk about this because everyone thinks i'm crazy :(
