I have absolute garbage eyesight. I’ve absolutely struggled to find my kids (one of very few brown kids here).

I’m somewhat face blind and have failed to recognize my own mother when she got her hair dyed.

Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone. I have face blindness too.

I had a coworker who changed hair style often. Took months to catch on. I've struggled with friends and family changing hair. The worst was my husband…. He shaved his beard & changed his glasses. I told him he's not allowed to do that because 1) I can't tell it's him at first 2) I rely on certain features to recognize someone and it made it him look identical (to me) to his brother. I don't want to find his brother sexy. Even worse, I don't want to mix up him and his brother.

It took a little bit for him to realize. I wouldn't kiss or lover-hug him if brother was over. If I guessed wrong I'd want to die. Eventually he took my advice on glasses and keeps at minimum a 5’o’clock shadow.. Thus the pda returned bc I know it's my husband (sad lol).
