extremely uncomfy when ppl i do not know address me by my name on here in some weird effort to sound familiar or something
-
yeah i’ve been trying to figure out for a long time the exact shape of when it feels normal for me to use names and when not, like intros/calling to people/some casual friend usage is all fine but sometimes names feel v intimate
wonder if it’s a cultural artifact ie the way chinese and lots of asian languages prefer usage of nicknames and titles for people

yeah i think that's why it's mostly unnatural for asians to use names: in indian culture calling anyone older than you by name is super-rude, and anyone younger its super-authoritarian, like teacher-student, so real names are mostly just for official shit

meanwhile waipipu a) dont stick to authority frameworks b) want to be everyone's best friend regardless of relationship or context c) rude as all hell already
