Brad Pitt recently opened up about his struggle with prosopagnosia, commonly referred to as"face blindness."
The upcoming"Bullet Train" star said he had difficulty remembering people even if he had"a real conversation with them" and that he'd try to trick people into thinking he remembered them or hope they would drop a clue or some context of where he might know them from.He revealed that he tried being honest with people and asking them where they had met before, but that backfired."...It just got worse," he said, of that experiment."People were more offended.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, prosopagnosia is thought to be the result of"abnormalities, damage, or impairment" in the part of the brain that"appears to coordinate the neural systems that control facial perception and memory." It may also result from stroke, traumatic brain injury, or"certain neurodegenerative diseases.
"For some people, it may be just some minor difficulties in remembering people's names and keeping strangers straight. And for other people, it may be more severe such that they have issues with recognizing their own friends and family or even issues recognizing their own reflection." "... Because it is such an abstract concept and really hard even for medical professionals to understand, it can feel like people are sort of faking it," she said."Often these people are kind of worried that they come off as distant or aloof or cold, because they're scared that the people in their lives don't really understand what's going on with them and why they're having so much trouble recognizing them.
