re-reading my example i could find a hint though, it breaks the flow of the sentence, cutting mid argument to include your name, and then resuming.
so.
huh i don't know where i'm going with this.
it breaks the sentence. you're focused on what the person is saying and then they stop and say your name. you then have trouble understanding the end of the sentence. I think it is not only related to the feeling of being patronized , it counts too of course because that adrenalin feeling comes when the name is uttered....but would i get just as angry if someone distracted me mid-listening with something else? something totally random, like " pumpkin"?
you know, pumpkin, i think we should discuss your application in my office."
ok that was a strange example.
but do you guys see what i'm getting at?

If I'm talking to someone and someone completely different says "Logan" (my name) in a conversation with someone else, I pay attention to them and lose focus on my conversation. But if it's in the current conversation, then it doesn't do anything.

My default mental responses to hearing my name are "Oh crap, they know." and "What do they want now?" So, for me, it's at least partially an issue of world view.
I also just don't like the sound of my name. But nicknames aren't any better. What can ya do?

My reaction is almost the same ... and it doesn't depend on whether a nickname or my real name is used.
