Or, to appeal to your philosopher's side: it's a similar mis-application of a train of thought that can lead from an innocuous appreciation of Heidegger to a plan to exterminate thousands of Jews.
Further: Self-analysis is not even a metaphor for mental masturbation, and we all know wankers go blind.

I am also terrible with names, but that is because I got straight to processing and remembering personality traits, vibes, appearance, small-talk background, chit chatty info etc etc..
in other words, I get to know a person well before I can remember their name, and then I am in some shit, because I know them well aside from their names. There are people that I have known for several years, and quite well at that, but yet can NEVER recall their name.. its bad. I just don't process names very well, you can tell it to me six times and all I'll remember is things you've told me about you, but not your name.
