I haven’t come up with one. I used to mix up my roommate with a coworker and have brief panicky feelings every now and then when I tried to figure out what I’d done that so pissed off my coworker that she was waiting in my living room. But I was pretty good at remembering that statistically it was my roommate.
Strategies I have used that helped:
sending out emails at the beginning of the school year reminding people I’m pretty faceblind and I may not recognize them, esp if they changed their hair. So please introduce yourself when you see me, and, if I’m in a conversation with someone, greet my interlocutor by name
teaching my then-bf fingerspelling and having him drift behind people I’m talking to and spell their names to me
These didn’t make me better long term,but helped a lot to manage the problem.
