Imagine you’re at a social function — at a time when social functions are safe again — and you start talking to a stranger. The two of you chat for a while, but as the conversation winds down, the other person calls you by name and then says, “It was great to meet you.”
That’s when you realize you have no idea what their name is — and they told you just minutes ago.
How often has this happened to you? And what’s a person to do?
It seems you’ve got three main options: 1) mask the awkwardness by responding with an over-enthusiastic “So great!” or an overly toothy grin; 2) limit yourself to events where name tags are mandatory; or 3) shun society and embark on life as a recluse.
