I developed a pre-rehearsed self-deprecating āIām so sorry whatās your name again, I always forget and then itās always too long after meeting to ask haha arent i brave and honest for saying soā kinda speech. And itās literally always met with a āhaha Iām the same way, my name isā¦ā or āthank god Iād forgotten yours too!ā. (this rec may only work on British people? Iām not sure).
