If there's someone that I get that feeling with, I usually will avoid saying their name to get their attention amd just speak or ill avoid it until I already have their attention. Does that make sense? I do that too sometimes, but mostly because I'm terrible with names. Hope you don't mind me askin...

I did a little bit of digging, hope you don't mind. Some options I found are worrying about saying a name wrong, but since it also applies to your own, that doesn't seem too likely. It might also be the case that using a name makes an interaction feel too direct/intimate. I can kinda see that, as th...

Hi Edna, thanks for your reply! One word that stands out to me is 'ego'. I guess I maybe do tend to think too much about my own role in a situation.

In a way, mostly because I'm not that fond of my (very Dutch) name. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't have picked it for myself.

Just wondering, do you not like your name, or do you feel uncomfortable introducing yourself, or...?

Not sure if I should post this here, or in the dating subforum, but this makes more sense to me right now. So, for nearly two years I've had a crush on a colleague.
