Is it normal I am always surprised when someone uses my name?

  • I am usually stunned and some how it makes me smile. I hardly ever hear my name so it makes me tend to enjoy that person more for saying my name. This is more common on the internet but hardly ever happens in real life that why I said not on the internet.

    • I think it makes you feel better in real life because it doesn't happen often. I'm the same way.

      • It was strange because I met a lady once and my name was only said once.

        I had no idea anyone was really paying attention but whenever she saw me after she would say "Good bye have a nice day(name)".

        This stunned me and she hardly even new me.

        • I must admit, I'm not good at remembering names unless I'm told more than once. I try my hardest to retain it, though.

          I think it's sweet that she remembered. She must be very friendly.

          • I am the same. I often tell people that and most people do not care if you forget their name. However some people are total prudes about it when you do. Which I just find petty.

            • Well, they must think too highly of themselves if they expect people to remember their name like that. I don't think most people care TO learn someones name. So kudos to those that do; I don't think they realize how good it makes some people feel.

              • I only talked to him about 5 times. I have no idea how he expected me to remember his name even though I did remember him. I even apologized to him for forgetting and he at this point told me to never speak to him again.
