It's happened to me so many times where I meet someone and I immediately forget their name. I'm sorry, it just happens! Turns out there's a reason why I forget names.
A new poll found most of us struggle with it. 58% of us say there's a good chance we wouldn't remember. That's how many said they struggle at least half the time. Only 7% always remember names. Men are a little worse at it than women. 55% of women and 61% of men have trouble with names. Most of us have an easier time with faces though. Only around 1 in 4 people said there's a good chance they wouldn't even recognize the person. And 28% said they NEVER forget a face.
