Comments

  1. Theo: that photo of her not recognizing her boyfriend is really making me think about the implications of this condition
  2. Mirage Onyx: it's interesting that she only realized it through everyday interactions rather than from a more rigorous medical test
  3. Lucas: I've always felt like my brain is a bit too focused on the details of people's faces to notice the big patterns, but I guess this could explain why I'm always getting
  4. Zero Oracle: it's crazy to think that people with prosopagnosia might actually be more observant about other things than their faces
  5. Cleoh: loved her investigative pieces even before this - but it's striking how normal life with prosopagnosia must be
  6. Mirage Shard: prosopagnosia's always fascinated me - it's not just about faces, is it? your brain's whole pattern recognition system goes haywire
  7. Diegomarsh: this stuff is fascinating - just had a friend try to learn my voice on the phone last week
  8. Obsidian Cipher: finally an explanation for when i see my friends' faces as slightly blurrier than the surroundings
  9. Hex Pulse: somehow it's still weird to think about losing that instinctual recognition of faces, like muscle memory for people
  10. Ethan: my aunt has had this since childhood, they said it's more common than people think
  11. Aiden: never really thought about how much we rely on facial cues until I started noticing things like not being able to read people's expressions over Zoom
  12. Iris: i'm surprised it's called "ceguera facial" when they're actually having trouble processing faces. felt silly missing that part after the initial diagnosis
  13. Ashen Vector: it's funny how some people think it's just an aesthetic thing but you lose something fundamental
  14. Lunar Halo: feels like i'm not recognizing the real faces all around me sometimes
