My Secret Inability
I usually do not talk to people unless they talk to me first.
In fact, I seldom give any interest to other people before they become my friend.
I was never good at seeing difference between faces or remembering faces.
Often, it takes me monthes, even years, to remember my friend's face.
But I rarely have much troble because of that inability.
When someone notices me and says hello to me, even though I haven't recognized his/her face until that moment, I can remember who he/she is by his/her voice, attire, and attitude in an instant.
I'm just terrible at remembering faces, not terrible at remembering anything.
So I can respond "Oh, hello!" naturally enough.
Once, I met one of my high school friends two years after the graduation.
I felt slightly confused but couln't figure out why.
My other friend told me later that she had a plastic surgery and her face had been greatly changed.
Well, she might thought me being considerate not to show any sign of seeing differences..
And I think she was pretty both before and after the surgery.
All ends well so far.

Often it takes me months, even years, to remember a friend's face - but I rarely have much trouble because of that inability.
