The only reason you need to know someone's name is to talk about them behind their back.

Repeating the name back helped me immensely. I'm still not great with names but I'm so much better than I was.

Enjoy winter break. If you aren't going to college (and I wouldn't recommend it for most people), this will be the last time you have that much free time unless you live long enough, and make enough money, to retire.

Sorry to be such a downer. I forget there are high school kids on Lemmy. For what it's worth I'm sorry about climate change, but that's largely the fault of my elders and the corporations that control the government.

Here's a fun way to play it- say "We've talked so many times over the years, and I bet you don't even know my name."

If he does, explain that you said that because you don't know his, laugh about it. Get his name and put it in your phone if you think you'll forget.

If he doesn't, then say "Well we're in the same boat because I don't know yours!" Exchange names, and put it in your phone if you think you'll forget.

Actually you're not supposed to capitalize every time you mention drag.

But sometimes you meet people who you never see again. That brain space could be used for Vim keybindings.

I have ADHD (+ other stuff) and so names has always been a massive issue for me. A few years ago I just stopped trying because I don't talk to most people anyways.

Excellent point, if you're just 1 on 1 with someone you dont need their name except to talk about them with someone else.
