I can relate to the awkwardness but it’s never been more than just, well, awkward for me. Not remembering somebody’s name after they told me 6 times in as many weeks, that’s where I draw the line.
I resort to attaching them mentally to a video game/tv show character of the same (or rhyming) name, then forever hope i dont accidentally make a reference to that fact or the character they have been assigned in my head.
Been there, didn’t jump.
