I was watching a movie last night and for the first half of the movie I was totally lost, because I thought the two actors were the same person. I also noticed this in my everyday life.

This could happen because you may have a tendency to generalize people instead of getting to know them.

Yeah it seems like people are always coming up to me and thinking i am someone else. Too bad, I wish I had as many friends as they make it seem I do. But no, I am a very detail oriented person. Names, faces, phone numbers, I can readily remember them all. But in movies, I find myself looking more at the people and watching them and paying attention to how they look than the actual plot of the movie!

Yes, that happens to me occasionally. I have actually gone up to strangers and started a conversation because I thought it was someone I knew.

I do, and it is maddening since I am a teacher and regularly call students by the wrong name.
