For whatever reason, my brain doesn't like to help me tell people apart. That, in turn, makes remembering people's names more difficult. When I head out to go to a public event, my usual top fear is running into someone "out of context" and not having a clue who that person is (from no idea at all to just not being able to decide on a person's name because she looks like both Ms. A and Ms. B).
I first saw something about this photographer a month or so ago but lost track of the link. This guy decided to take portraits of pairs of people - perfect strangers that look nearly identical.

I struggle on how to react in social situations when I see people. I've ignored acquaintances because I was convinced about certain traits that I thought indicated it was not that person and there are times I've casually approached absolute strangers and started yammering completely assured of myself that I am speaking to an acquaintance or new friend.
