    I spent more than 4 years working in a place were I just knew the names of the 10 people immediately around me. People kept talking about person X or Y from another floor or room and I had absolutely no fucking idea who they were talking about.

      So I travel all over for work at different places. I’ll start telling a story about something that happened three weeks ago to a coworker. “Oh yeah, where were you at?” Me- blank stare half the time.

      Sometimes it comes to me after a few seconds, sometimes I can’t even remember which state I was in.

      I used to be awful with names but I got better at that. Still below average, but better. I do have ADHD for what that’s worth.
