@Atlantic_Deluxe  how do people look to you

the realest lyrics 
"There's some kind of burning inside me
It's kept me from falling apart
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart, But it's kept me from falling apart

I'm gonna yap because I've always wanted to talk about this. I have this thing going on where in my head everyone is registered like an NPC or a background character. Like  there's a category in my head called "People/everyone" pretty much everyone I can't recognise falls into this category. The exceptions being people that I've grown familiar with and can recognise in a crowd.
So for me to recognise someone instantly, they have to make a STRONG first impression/encounter with me, or they have to do or have something that makes them different from everyone else (voice/beauty marks/hair colour/outfits/personality/etc). So without something unforgettable about a person to connect their identity with, their face just doesn't register in my head.
So someone that falls into the "People/everyone" category, their face just doesn't reach my brain, even if I'm talking to them face to face, the moment I look away, my mind automatically deletes the information about how they look. Everyone looks like everyone.
(And there's this weird occurence where if I remember someone's face, I forget their name instead. Lol.)
Sorry I'm bad at explaining so this was the best i could put into words.

Funny note: it took me 5 months to finally start recognising Zara Larson even after watching her music videos repeatedly
