  • The level of weird it feels to me is pretty different.

    When friends do it, and it's so infrequent, it's like a very small feeling, and the majority of the weirdness feeling actually comes from me thinking about how I almost never call people by their name, and I'm probably the weird one, and maybe I should make an effort to do it more.

    When I see it being done a lot in one conversation it's a big feeling, and as other people have pointed out, I think a big chunk of the weirdness vibe I get is from the technique being used in a condescending way. And then each time it happens in the same conversation the weird feeling feeds into and amplifies itself, which is what ended up pushing me to ask

  • Yeah, like one example where I've noticed it was the most recent discussion with alex occonor and william lane craig. I've also experienced it talking to one of my cousins about religion/christianity, but what inspired this post was the theo von podcast where he had jeffrey long on. He was saying "theo" so often it made me super uncomfortable

  • Yeah, I mean among friends and coworkers people will definitely call each other by name, and that does still feel weird but not nearly as much. The frequency they use names is just way less and the tone/attitude is different

  • Find hobbies or projects or do stuff with friends to the point that you don't have time for movies and youtube

    When you're at the store, don't buy junk food. If it's in the house it'll be extremely difficult to say no to, but while shopying it's easier to make a more rational decision. Also, plan your meals for the week and maybe meal prep
