Picturing of someone I have seen before and not being that person

Hello, I went to the doctor’s today. I pictured what the doctor looked since I have seen him before. Well, it was another face and not the right person. This has been happening more often. For another recent example, I walked into a coffee shop and I notice this man and I think he is one of my sons. My daughter and I walked up to him and started a conversation with him. I turned to him and said I thought you were my son. He chuckled. Silly me I asked for a hug if that was okay. When I did I said “I love you” The person is singer Andy Grammer. Very nice person. I am getting confused with faces. I have problems with reality too.
