Twice I Avoided Meeting... Myself!

I was just thinking the other day - with the advent of most people wearing masks, are there more 'mistaken identities' going on? After all, it's much harder to recognise people now when you really only have hairstyle and eyes to go on?
I can't recognize people that I've met casually at all, so it's made it a little easier when you only have a few cues to work from. They're just as likely to change as always from day to day, but "hair and eyes/forehead and ears" is much easier than "a whole face with all the misc. features and it just blurs together in your memory".
....Being a person is weird, you'd think I wasn't meant to be one.

I do have doppelgangers though, but I think only in the mundane sense where I'm fairly nondescript and people think they might know me. I saw one, once-- my friend pointed her out to me and I saw her walking away, clothes my sort of clothes, hair like mine. Wish I'd seen her face.
