I think I am faceblind [never had a diagnosis] and I cannot, for the life of me, tell David Burke and Edward Hardwicke apart. They are the same person, maybe also because I only know them as Watson(s).

Even if I put them right next to each other like here they look the same to me. :,( (Yes, the hair is a bit different and one has darker eyebrows, but apart from that - they - are - the - same.)

It took me almost the whole episode of The Empty House to realise why I felt so uneasy about Watson. :D If I concentrate now, I can see they have different mannerisms, but over all, it's a lost cause. :(

#i felt like a terrible person so may times in my life #because i just COULDN’T REMEMBER someone #it was only when i started watching a lot if films together with my sister i realised i had to ask for clarification many times #because i didn’t recognise the characters of they changed their shirts or if there were e.g. two men with dark short hair #a few weeks ago i was in a large group with people i didn’t know and had a conversation and apparently half way through #i swapped conversation partners and didn’t realise until we had a really confusing misunderstanding #i feel more and more i would like to have a diagnosis #because then maybe I'd stopp feeling like I'm just careless / arrogant / stupid / anti-social #i just can't tell people apart and they tend to take it personal #aaaargh #okay enough of that #face blindness #david burke #edward hardwicke #sherlock holmes #granada holmes
