I rarely attend offline events, and one important reason is—face blindness. I can't remember people's faces. People I met at the last event, I have no recollection of them when we meet again this time. Even people I just shook hands and chatted with, the moment I turn around and see them again, I've forgotten who they are. I'm so afraid of calling someone by the wrong name or saying the wrong thing that it creates awkwardness, so I'd rather not go offline.

After living for several decades, I've already accepted who I am—I'm not low in emotional intelligence, I'm simply low in IQ, and since my IQ is low, my emotional intelligence can't be high either. I'm not suited for dealing with people. How can I socialize if I can't even remember people's faces? Don't even talk about making friends—I could easily offend someone without realizing it. Who would like someone who can't remember who they are?

I once read what a key middle school teacher said: after teaching for many years, she concluded that so-called high-IQ students are simply those with good memory. I think she makes a lot of sense. Thinking back to school days, I struggled all night to memorize just a few words and still couldn't remember them. Watching top student peers so effortlessly and fluently recite entire English passages, I gradually understood that intelligence and looks aren't things that hard work or rote memorization can bridge.

It's valuable to have self-awareness. Since I clearly know I have face blindness, I should try to go out less and avoid offending people. Facing a computer screen, I can recognize each and every one of you, call you warmly by your nicknames, and that fills me with confidence and joy. $BNB
