I struggle with other things like music groups, names of songs etc. I just excepted it is the way I am.
The hardest though is learning names especially since I have been in sales most of my adult life. My ex-wife would get mad at me for not introducing her to clients when we ran into people in public. I always have to tell her the truth. I couldn't remember their name and didn't want them to be insulted.
So don't feel alone in having memory problems you're not the only one.

That's original. So your theory is that it's related to ADD? I especially have difficulties remembering birthdays, even my parent's at times. Everyone needs to repeat it every time if I forgot write it down somewhere. I think it comes off as offensive. It's hard for me to remember names, too. But only if the person simply spoke it out loud. If someone writes it down to me, I'll remember it for all eternity. So I'm sure I have an okay visual memory. But then that'd mean I have an absolutely poor echoic memory. Whoops.
