I’m so busy trying to act like a normal human being and not forgetting my name like a weirdo, that I just don’t have capacity to remember the name of someone for more than 3 seconds.

I actually found the weirdest hack for names on TikTok. Let’s say his name is Fred. First think what weapon you’re gonna kill him with that starts with an “F”. Then pick a part of his body as the how. Example: I’m going to kill Fred with a fireaxe by chopping off his foot.
It is freaky how effective this is.

Not sure if people think I’m weird, but I’ll write down names of neighbors in Google keep.

Like Michael scott “brad, 2 kids with orange cat named sunny”

It’s because you deprioritized knowing it in the first place, to try to focus on what they were discussing

Does repetition and memory rules help an ADHD brain?

I made it a habit to regurgitate names in my head multiple times after I heard them but it still happens way too often.

repeat it within 5 min then 10

It doesn’t always work for every name, but I try to think of a celebrity with the same first name and repeat it in my head.

names are overrated anyways, nobody needs them

This is me with every educational video I watch

Something I sometimes do is to try to find a way to visualize their name in my imagination. This especially works for some last names. For example if the person you’re meeting is called John Miller I try to imagine that person working in a mill. So my brain has an image to stick to when trying to remember their name… Sometimes no good image comes to my mind though. Last names can be weird…
