Had someone calling me wrong name for six months. When he found out, he asked me why I hadn’t corrected. I told him I knew he was calling me so what’s the big deal. Seemed confused like I should’ve been put out. I’m a person, not a name, who gives?!

Some people get really angry if you call them the wrong name or say it incorrectly 🤣
Obviously got their priorities correct. I still never truly understood why i didnt have issues in the countries ive lived in where i just didnt bother correcting name on official paperwork. Have a friend who emigrated from Iran to Uk. They fucked something up on his name and date of birth and caused hell for him. Blew my mind it took over 10 years to fix. Decentraluse everything, call yourself Bob to everyone to make it easier to remember and be done! In costa rica, everyone uses whatsapp so on mine, name is close but nit correct. Makes it easier for me whn people contact me. If its someone i dont remember cause am an idiot, i know cause they use mt real name. If its someone i dont know reaching out from a community chat, they use the wrong name. Simple triage!
