How to Remember People’s Names

[@tankkat4205]

I got chills when he calls out Derek It's like he's talking to me

[@atlantabaruah]

Dereks unite

[@jasonargyropoulos2674]

Yo same!! wait, thats not my name. i forgot

[@derekhoyt7046]

Seriously it was weird

[@ishouldfindagoodname2416]

That’s because he is, Derek.

[@derekatkins8494]

No way!

- Hey, how do you spell your name? - Bob. B. O. B. - 😅

[@sweet2sourr]

😆

[@sebascorrea97]

+ Hey! What was your name again? - John. I cannot believe you forgot that! + John, I meant your second name! He has one: ✅ He has none: - Well, I don't have one. + Ha, that's why I did not remember that!

[@kieranmajury9623]

This was really interesting, thanks David.

[@ayushpriyam8455]

Lmao

[@deemah-fm9xm]

I forgot your name when I wanted to recommend you to my friend.

😂😂😂😂😂 sounds like me

[@WEYffles]

LITERALLY ME, I wouldn't be surprised if I forgot my mom's name since I'm always calling her "mom"

[@Bierfuizl91]

I forgot my grandmas name once before :D

[@amaracea]

Haha reminds me of Smosh’s Death Note parody

[@RCBlooming]

@@Bierfuizl91 I never knew my grandparents' name because their names are Vietnamese and having immigrated to America, It's hard to remember Vietnamese names and I only call them by their pronouns.

[@Tod_x]

I know four Great grandfather name

[@tlst94]

I once forgot my second cousin's name. And I've known her for years. How's this even possible? Is this how Prof. Oak feels about his own grandson's name(Blue)?

[@sambeawesome]

This reminds me of a tour my dad and I went on years ago. The guide asked our names one by one, and after hearing them, she reached out to shake our hands, gripped it while starting right into our eyes, and repeated our names back firmly. She explained this was how she remembers names. And she did! Throughout the entire tour she remembered everyone's names perfectly :)

[@anonymousejr]

Thanks, ill keep this in mind the next time i meet someone new...

[@osse1n]

Name is the sweetest sound to a person's ear - so much power behind hearing someone call your name

[@wobaguk]

I think theres also an element of self-consciousness at work. I think people and definitely me are generally mentally occupied around new people with the task of not looking awkward or bored, or thinking what the next thing you are going to say in comversation is, while still listening. So the things people say kind of slip off the surface because you are putting way more mental energy into what you are putting out, rather than what you are taking in.

[@marcschox4769]

Exactly what I experience

[@TimeFliesTimeManagement]

And beyond embarrassment.. people LOVE when we remember their names 🤗

[@crohero1000]

Mom: Go play outside Me: 1:35

[@agassialves577]

Well played, dude lol

[@AlvaroALorite]

Techniques: 1) quizzing yourself. Write their name down at the end of the day 2) use mnemonic techniques * Be merciful to yourself, remembering names is NOT easy because they are arbitrary. 3) waiting for the name to pop up again in a conversation is fine... You could even use the trick of asking them to spell their name (though this may not work for phonetically consistent languages) But asking again is "braver", you run the risk of being seen as careless, or on the contrary, as willing to know the other person's name. *

[@akik1506]

Aslo ask people to spell their name can help to get the name. Add it

[@AlvaroALorite]

@@akik1506 done

[@abrahamtse]

Also, repeating their name when they first introduced it. "Nice to meet you _____ (their name)."

[@akik1506]

@@abrahamtse yeah, you are right

[@Zajcooo]

don't worry about ending a sentence with a person's name, they are probably going to love it if you explain it's all about remembering their name people love being listened to, remembered and given attention; letting them know you care is a great way to catch their attention and score positive in the future

[@TimeFliesTimeManagement]

Go one step further and remember ONE THING about them.... it will make it even sweeter...

[@EpicMathTime]

of all names you went with _Derek_ ?

[@paul_seiler]

When I was learning my guitar string names I came up with the pneumonic "Every, Angry, Dog, Gets, Beat, Eventually" ... and I've remembered them ever since :) Great video! Great advice!

[@xue1379]

Wtf lol

[@5udimax]

I love your videos Tim , I mean Tom, I mean Thomas

[@juanmonselv4594]

Normal people: oh, ok I want to learn how to remember people's names. Me: I want to remember the character's anime names.

[@soomascorner]

[@soomascorner]

Juan Monselv I’m just like ‘that dude that becomes a ghoul’ instead of kaneki

[@Oneofakind123]

He: Hi, My name is John. Me: Hi, Nice to meet you Jonathan.

[@DavidCarloz]

An example of my pain. I can watch the same TV series for years and only know a few characters names. I’m now going to try harder. Thanks

[@Skovlyste]

Great video! :D I love the way you talk about such useful topics with down to earth examples and concrete knowledge

[@vikicutdem]

I asked one girl in my English class what's her name 3 times, she is Victoria. That's my name. And I still forgot it.

[@didnt_ask_for_handle]

I really liked the intro, you acted it out really well... That's the first thing that came to mind and I just wanted to say it.

[@lathildaholm4187]

This is so creepy. I had just forgotten a name and thought to myself how I could stop doing that and then this video just magically popped up ! Great timing :)

[@mememem]

Thanks phillip this video was very helpful for me

[@johnny2day]

Remembering the names of people you meet at the bar is the worst. I'v had full conversations with people I'v known for months and still can't remember their name

[@dodger1x]

People with dyslexia often struggle with names. I even forget names of my close family and long life old friends.

[@bertlemoi431]

that's actually a good way to animate people to watch your other videos, steven. i'll give you props for that, although my face hurts now...

[@niko9942]

Derek when he said "Derek" : 👁️👄👁️

[@Weebhelp]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you

Thank you Tomas!

[@finethehuman1821]

Once some guy forgot my name and he was very apologetic to me. Sad thing was I forgot his name too

[@PracticalInspiration]

One of the things that changed my outlook on remembering names is I actively made an effort to remember them. I regularly find myself saying them now to remember.

[@IamJohnCarter]

"Derek" LOL

[@calmgames8216]

Thank you so much for this i have sufferd so much due to memmory loss i cant even renember how to spell now i know why.

I truly love watching your amazing videos, thank you so much for sharing..👍 👍.

[@NovelNovelist]

I find that the absolute worst thing that can happen to me when I'm trying to learn someone's name is to mix it up with a similar name even just once. It's not a big deal at FIRST, but it's almost a guarantee that incorrect association is going to be locked into my brain and I'll still be calling them by that wrong name the tenth or twentieth time I meet them. At best it'll become a 50/50 crapshoot and sometimes I'll use that wrong name and sometimes I'll get it right. Meanwhile, I actually AM good at names, so anyone else I met and didn't mix up their name early on, I'm able to consistently remember and get right...which just looks worse if I meet a couple or a group of people at the same time or something, and it's just that one person's name that goes down the wrong path in my brain.

[@refaatchik]

Yes. You must try to remember the names. Thanks.

[@ItsAsparageese]

I love the fanboying-WheezyWaiter moment. Something something stanning when people I stan stan other people I stan

[@KiraFriede]

They often introduce themselves way too early. Especially in big groups where you can't know which people you will spend much time with and with whom not.

[@robheath22]

Lighting is on point bro. Nice work!

[@iamaboutyou]

Are names just ARBITRARY though? I find this video fascinating and there are tips on here that are really helpful Thomas, so thank you! I'd love to chat with you about Names and the mystery of naming.

[@praveenas4675]

Thank you Tim. Tom. Ted. Tommy. Timmy. Thomaso!!!

[@jordanroyal9762]

Bruh i was just thinking about this. Thanks a lot bro!

[@deborahadeniji808]

Hey, what about recognizing people’s names by their voices? As one who’s visually impaired, that’s pretty much how I remember names. Or accents, such as the British Dan Snow of the BBC, the American Anderson Cooper of CNN, and so on and so forth.

[@richardjones4259]

I'm terrible with names, didn't know it was such a common problem.

[@mirahkhai]

my professors better be seeing this

Wow I never though I could find any help regarding this topic. Thank you!

Super content. Thanks.

[@ZacharyLaid]

always forget names when meeting people

[@dawidpyka8218]

thanks bro

[@DOLfirst]

I have had trouble remembering names ALL my life. I probably would have enjoyed learning history in school of I wasn't required to learn names. On the other hand, my sister recalls names of EVERY person she has ever met. I have decided not to bother. I have ADHD and dyslexia and realize this might be part of my problem.

[@JustmeSEVEN]

Thank u..I can use this technique in memorizing names in history subject.

[@amaracea]

Great video, Samuel!

[@mfcoom9485]

I move around every year or 2 in my line of work and remebering names let alone group of names every other other year has always been my weak spot. And here in Thailand, culturally every have nicknames (used with ppl who are closed to or work directly with you) and legal name (used in any sort of printed or write documents or in official/axademic events.

[@nellyb743]

When watching this video, did anyone else think of that one Scrubs episode where JD is challenged by the janitor to remember the names of everyone at the hospital? No? Just me? Ok...

[@boduholm8463]

I see you are a young guy. I am a slightly older guy. I work in a 1600-employee company, and everybody knows who I am. They all said, "hi, my name", and I just look busy and said hi. That I do not have a problem with. what I have a problem with is when a lower lever KEY employee decides to come back to the company, and I confidently think his name is Søren, and when we are in the lunch line my boss says "Hej Claus", which is his real name. That is a bad case of remembering names.

[@kieron7943]

S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals question: How would you answer "Attainable/Achievable" without a simple "yes" or "no"? Everywhere I've looked just says to make sure its actually attainable, but answering that with a yes/no answer doesn't feel right.

Well nice tips and all but i already forgot the name the second they said it. You can be like „Hi I‘m Paul“ and i could not tell your name.

If they don't remember someone whose name is literally "Mr Potter" then they're lying to you, sorry to say it

[@davidwilliama.7296]

Everybody seems to remember my name, but I almost never remember anybody's name. I work in a restaurant as a dishwasher and I know almost none of the names of people outside of the kitchen, either because I never asked or because I forgot. Some of these people are new, but some I've been working with for over a year. I hardly use people's names in general, except family. P.S. I didn't know you played guitar. Are you good at it?
