- This was very uncomfortable to watch. I have always had a very hard time recognizing people. After watching the segment, I uncomfortably came to the conclusion that I am afflicted. I do recognize people especially my immediate family, but I think it is on a more emotional level. I may go as far as to say I recognize them from the inside out. After talking with them and feeling them, I recognize them. That is why photographs are so hard to recognize. There is no emotion.
