I have the same issue. If you don’t look exactly like I expect and you’re in the same place I expect then I can’t really place you. I can see friends at the grocery store and have no idea who they are.
A friend of mine cut off her hair and dyed it. I saw her out and she said hello. We talked for a minute and I had no idea who the hell she was, so I politely excused myself thinking it was just someone I had met once or some drunk person striking up a conversation. Later that night I texted her and asked where she was. She walked up to me and asked what I needed. That’s the only way I put it together.

I have never told her this.
It’s sometimes called face blindness but is also known by Prosopagnosia.
It’s a real, scientifically named thing?? Wild!
There’s a well known (TV & radio famous) scientist in Australia that has this condition, super strange to imagine what it would be like only recognise people by their clothes/styling, mannerisms etc. https://startsat60.com/media/entertainment/dr-karl-face-blindness-prosopagnosia-anhs-brush-with-fame
HAHA I love this!!
But it’s absolutely understandable (to me, at least).
Lots of women especially seem to be so versatile. Can seemingly switch looks at will! So cool.
But also so confusing LOL
