I rarely attend offline events, and there's one important reason—face blindness. I can't remember people's faces. People I met at the last event, I have no recollection of when we meet again. Sometimes I've just shaken hands and chatted with someone, and the moment I turn around and see them again, I've forgotten who they are. I'm so afraid of calling someone the wrong name or saying the wrong thing that it just creates awkwardness. That's why I'm reluctant to go offline.

After living for decades, I've come to terms with myself long ago—I just have low IQ, not low emotional intelligence. Well, actually, with low IQ, my emotional intelligence probably isn't that great either. I'm simply not cut out for dealing with people. How can I socialize when I can't even remember faces? Don't even talk about making friends—I'm just one slip away from offending someone. Who would like someone who can't even remember who they are?

I once read a key-point middle school teacher say that after many years of teaching, she concluded that so-called high-IQ students basically just have good memory. I think she makes a lot of sense. Looking back on my school days, I struggled all night to memorize just a few words but still couldn't retain them. Watching my high-achieving classmates so effortlessly and fluently recite entire English passages, I gradually understood that intelligence and looks aren't things you can make up for through hard work or rote memorization.

A person should know themselves well. Since I know I'm face-blind, I'd rather stay home and avoid offending people. But facing the computer screen, I can recognize each and every one of you. I can call out your nicknames warmly and affectionately, and that fills me with confidence and joy. $BNB
