This person is so gorgeous I get amnesia (seriously, it’s a problem)

Ok I know the title seems like a cheesy song lyric, but I actually mean it. Don’t even know if it’s romantic or just a really bizarrely specific medical condition. I don’t think I have a crush on them (as in, I’m not thinking about them the majority of the time, not fantasising about them in any way).
HOWEVER.
We’re in a lot of the same Facebook groups, and when I see one of their selfies I stop breathing. Quite literally, they are Stunning. I am stunned into stillness. Like a deer in the headlights.
Unfortunately, whenever this happens I also forget literally everything, and it doesn’t come back for at least 20 minutes. When I say I forget everything, this includes times I’ve interacted with this person before in the last couple years. I think I’ve pissed them off, because I said exactly the same thing to them twice, on two different occasions. FOUR TIMES. FOUR TIMES I’VE BEEN HYPNOTISED AND FORGOTTEN ENTIRE CONVERSATIONS. And I’m not talking little stuff, either. I mean detailed, in depth answers when they’ve asked the group for advice. Even when they took my advice, the next time I saw their picture I just…forgot.
It also impacts other stuff - I’ve left things on the stove, forgotten to eat, forgotten what day it is and missed a train…literally I see a selfie and just go completely blank.
I don’t want to annoy them with my repetitiveness so I decided I’d never comment on their questions again…then, of course, forgot everything the second they posted another selfie. It’s ridiculous.
If it’s relevant, I’ve had concussions and memory issues before, but this is the only strong trigger I’ve encountered. Also, as far as I know I’m ace and have never been attracted to someone.
We don’t know each other (as far as I’m aware, not like I’d remember). They seem nice, but obviously I’m not about to tell them what’s going on because it’s so weird (and we’re strangers). I want to be able to just…be normal. It’s not a conscious thing. I’m just scrolling and then I get figuratively hit by a truck.
I hope they don’t remember me.
Should I block them?

Always block people who give off the vibe that they don't accept you. I do it all the time. There's this one specific woman that things got real sour with because I wasn't on my medication with. Crazy thing is that we were together for a brief moment like 14 years ago. I adored her. Like totally head over heels loved that girl. But she hates me now and I can't talk to her anymore. It bugs the crap out of me cuz I just wanna talk to her about what's been going on for the last 8 years of my life and I want her to realize that a lot of our issues was caused from my schizoaffective type bipolar disorder and now it'd be better cuz I'm on meds. But everyone in her life hates me cuz I was a insane jerk for a long period of time. And i think we were raised totally different and that might be a reason why we clash. And the fact I still love her because when you truely love somebody those feelings don't go away.
ReplyWell, if you want to be at their complete mercy, carry on, it might be fun. Otherwise, walk away and don't look back.
ReplyOh damn, ‘at their complete mercy’ Lol when you put it like that…uh, maybe there’s some self-discovery stuff/preferences I should be looking into 😂
I guess if it happens again in a way that seriously impacts my life, I’ll probably block them just for my own sanity
ReplyYou're so gorgeous, I can't say anything to your face!
Cause look at your face!
That's an actual lyric in a song (Gorgeous, by Taylor Swift)
I'm just 16, so no advice from me, but I do find you quite funny!
