Some people were interested in my experience with Face blindness so I wanna just talk about it :D I didn't know I was faceblind until I was in my teens! I just thought noone knew what they or others looked like on top of their head! This is when I realized that people could actually describe others

Like there is a whole profession that used people's description to paint a face haha This is when it went south, I started thinking something was wrong with me and how I perceive the world- I realized that I would never truly remember my loved ones faces, never truly SEE them for who they were

I started mourning memories I could never make I am sometimes dysphoric about my own face! I don't know what I look like unless I see myself actively. I used to practice facial expressions but it didn't work too well I got upset at myself for being stupid but didn't notice it gave me superpowers

I remember people for their hair, face shape (in relation to body and hair), their physical shape, their smell, their voice and the way they move, fidget, carry themselves etc I will always carry peoples stories and I will value their little beauties a lot more cause it is all I have of them <3

I don't dream of faces, and when I do IT MEANS SOMETHING- But this is my normal now! It is weird and yeah- I won't recognize you in public unless you have a funky haircolour or wave to me or something- but I will love you so much more cause I notice you- ALL of you <3
