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

  • 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.
