Oh, that’s what I do now. I also let people know that I forget names and please don’t take it personally when meeting them. I’ve had a lot of years to gain more wisdom than I had then. It’s trivially easy to be up front. 19yo me, though, didn’t know shit.
I let them know when I meet them that I’m going to forget their names. That helps when I eventually do forget it somewhere between 5 minutes and a week later. If I don’t forget it, then I’ve exceeded their expectations, and they feel special.
