Do you find it awkward when you bump into Someone and they say they know you, but you cant remember their name?

I have found that saying, "I'm sorry, please remind me of your name?" goes over just fine, especially if I convey that I really do remember the person and the situations we were in together.

@DrWatson Nah my politeness wouldn't allow to be so bold. 😅

Happens to me all the time - you have to do something memorable for me to remember your name.

I definitely find it awkward. It makes me feel like I've forgotten their name or forgotten to pay attention to them. I'm always very embarrassed when this happens, and I feel bad for making the other person feel like I didn't care about them enough to remember their name.

@fakable I think if i was the other person i'd probably find it funny. 🤣

Oh yeah. I often remember people that I knew when I was younger…neighbors or relatives of other relatives….can’t remember their names but remember everything else about them and things that they did. Then I’ll be driving down the road or doing chores and I can remember their names.

No. I'm not important enough for anyone to recollect me, and think people who think they are to me are usually mistaken.
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
@SteelHands Fair enough. 😇

Yes and online too. Someone will recognize me saying my name and I'll have no idea who the hell they are.

@BeJeweled 😬

All the time. I am terrible for remembering names 😂
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
@Mooed78 Its Dreadful because half the time you're just hoping they say their name. 🤣
Mooed78 · F
@SarithBorn it’s introducing friends to others. Then I forget their name lol 😂
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
@Mooed78 🤣 This is..... you know? you don't? *brain comes on what is their name?*
Lilymoon · F
Yeah it's happened a few times. I'm like Omg I can't remember this person 😨
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
@Lilymoon The only time you wish the person in question spoke in 3rd person. 🤣
Yes I feel rude when that happens
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
@SlippingAway Its not a nice situation 😬
@SarithBorn no I had that happen once with a coworker at an event in the city and could not remember her name when introducing her to my partner ☹️ I felt so bad then remembered her name like 30 minutes later after the run in
SarithBorn · 18-21, M
@SlippingAway 😬 oh no...
JustEd · 41-45, M

I find it awkward when I bump into folks, either way.
I try to be more careful. 😶
