My problem is that I easily forget names, especially women. When someone introduces themselves to me, before they finish speaking, I usually forget their names...is there a way I can remember peoples names as fast as I remember those who owe me?

    Yes.

    Ask for there name and say it in your head repeatedly for the first 5minutes of the convosation - alternatively, use email

    lol.

    All jokes aside, Derren Brown teaches that if you imagine their name in big bold red letters accross their foreheads, that is a proven technique to work

    I can SO relate! Even if I have to ask several times, I will leave a conversation knowing that person's name. But the next time I see them, I most likely will have to ask again...

    I've been that way my whole life. Weird.

    Think I will try the BOLD RED LETTERS on the forehead technique the next time I meet someone new... thanks for the tip Teenage Genius

    I know that. But I think its a focus thing. Many times I don't even pay so much attention when people introduce themselves.

    But remeber, are there people who reallly facinated you? I'M sure you rember their names. Try to get your brain really paying attention activly.

    If your problem is focus - then you now know your problem, so make a concience effort to better it.

    I had a massive problem with focus and concentration once; thank God I fixed it after I identified that it was my problem - it came to me after a traumatic event - that happens, it's life - get over "it", get over "yourself" and trust yourself enough to idendify your weaknesses and strengthen them - this is how you improve
