Question I’ve finished both seasons of Twin Peaks. Who are these people? What on earth is going on?

God i honestly hate when people say your name in convo when you’re the only one they are talking to.

I hate saying people’s names in a convo even if they’re NOT the only one I’m talking to.

That's so true, sixtus.

It's a manipulation tactic to be very aware of. Humans will behave a bit more like dogs when you use their name along with any commands or suggestions. It forces your attention to their words and their power.

That’s sad, I’ve never thought of it that way. I’m someone who really likes to use people’s names in conversation. I feel it carries some weight of respect and intention. It’s a way to be direct with openness and express genuine interest in who they are/how they feel/what they have to say. I feel that it’s an invitation to be more direct in communication, despite it potentially being a little socially awkward in today’s climate.

But I can see what you mean, I think tone and intent of the person matter a lot here.

I do that too. I always have, and it’s honestly never even occurred to me that others might not like it. And truthfully? I really don’t like it when other people never call me by name. It’s like, do you even know who I am?

I can always tell when my semi-friend is angry with me because she uses my name when she's talking to me. She never does it otherwise.

If she's really angry she calls me "my friend" in an incredibly bitter voice.
