sometimes

For the past year or so i have been having trouble identifying people. I can't always tell who is who by what they look like. For example i was watching a movie and at some point i couldn't figure out what was going on because i couldn't tell some of the actors apart by their looks. If two women had dark hair i couldn't tell who was who until they started to say something. This also happens in real life i can run into someone i know but not be able to tell the difference between that person and another friend of mine who might look similar. How come i can't tell people apart? Does anyone have something similar? It's not like one alter knows a certain person and the alter who is out may not, it's not bringing able to distinguish one person from another visually. It's becoming stressful and seems to be happening more often. Like all the faces look the same.

suddenly not recognizing people/faces is called face blindness (prosopagnosia) there are many different causes...medication side effect, drugs, alcohol, stress, physical brain problems.....

with in me it was a medication problem. once the meds were adjusted\changed things went back to normal.

my suggestion isif this continues to bother you contact your/a treatment provider, they can help you to get tested for all the different problems that can cause this to happen and tell you why this is happening in you and get you treated for it.

hm i'm not sure if this seems at all similar but i have such a hard time recognizing people
or... maybe not actually recognizing them... but believing in myself to know what they look like... if that makes sense
so if i'm looking for someone or waiting for a friend (for example), i can see a random person and not know if maybe that's my friend... or see my friend and not trust myself to be correct that it's them
i wonder what's going on
