i totally understand what you're saying! I have a mild case of prosopagnosia, so I'm a little less severe than some people. if someone asked me to draw my face or a close relative/friend I would struggle. it's like I know my features but I can't picture them together if that makes sense. I know i have 2 eyes, a nose, lips, etc but I can't make a face out of them. and envisioning a face in my hesd is completely out of the question. i cant put peoples faces together to actually "make" a face. everyone starts to look... the same (?) a lot of movies depict faces as "blurry" but obviously thats not what we see. best example is that its like showing me the ingredients for a cake. i know what the ingrediants are but i dont know how to put it together. I get celebrities confused all the time because theyre always changing their hair and outfits. they also wear a lot of makeup so distinctive scars or marks are hard to spot. not "knowing" your own face can be really... sad sometimes. it can almost make you feel lonely in a way. go to a doctor because I feel it will really help explain things you don't understand. at least it did for me. I always just thought i had bad memory, but trust me, there's a difference between bad memory and facial blindness. there's ways to help cope with it but i don't think there's a cure yet.
