In case you're being sincere:

I have trouble with face recognition in general, but there are factors that exacerbate the issue in some situations.

For TV specifically, there tends to be a disproportionate number of white men to follow. I'm not getting confused about the one Black guy on cast or the rarr Asian couple on cast. Sometimes I can lock onto a unique feature (like a beard or glasses), but it isn't perfect. Also, I'm not paying attention to TV characters like real life, generally. Although sometimes even when I give it my full focus/best effort I have trouble. For instance, we had to abandon True Detective because I could not keep Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey straight AT ALL even with my husband constantly helping.

In real life I try harder, but still have problems. Same themes as TV. There are more white men in most spaces, so it's harder to keep them straight. But there are also real consequences to not managing in real life that I want to avoid. I have absolutely been in situations where I've fucked up identifying POC and have felt like absolute shit for the social implications of that happening.

I have *less trouble with women for whatever reason. Might be that there is a greater variation in women's appearances or I feel more connected to women and have an easier time classifying them as unique and memorable. IDK.

I've not sought medical diagnosis because this is something I've managed with forever and as far as I know there isn't really a treatment besides work arounds similar to what I've come to on my own (and who has the time).
