When addressing others... 1

I really didn't know what to write as the subject or the title for this thread so I apologize for any confusion it may have caused. Anyway, this isn't a big issue but something I have become very aware over the years is... most people, when addressing someone, don't use their actual name in addressing them. (Example if you are confused: "Hey BOB want to go out and get something to eat for dinner tonight. Hey want to go out and get something to eat for dinner tonight.)
Also when saying "I love you" to someone, why do people often forget the "I" in "I love you." What are your folks' opinions on this? Discuss.
Thank you for reading my thread. I hope everyone is having a good day. Bye for now.

Well Bigfeely123 I definitely feel for you..
But do you have an honest way of convincing these people that you encounter..
You will at least know that you can begin and then set an example for these people..
I myself am pretty forward and usually know when to say a persons name or not..
It may seem simple..but often times requires a certain amount of bravery and a witness of pure wisdom..these are the type of daily things that are important to understand just so that people keep a good impression of you..and other people..
My term for it is atonement..both in the way that you say it(the way it sounds) and the exact wording in which you show honest compassion;

I try to address people by their names often. I notice when other people actually refer to me by name, especially while talking to me. I also notice when people never refer to my name, ever, which makes me think they don't know it. It definitely lowers my opinion of them if they do that after knowing me for some time.

Hahaha ^ the guys name above is indeed a Bob..of a wonder or sorts..
and about names and forgetting them..sometimes peoples minds are not necessarily programmed to remember too many names..so its like a list that keeps getting bigger..most or even everyone most likely Does indeed want to remember your name..but sometimes its like going to highschool and getting an A in every class..probably close to impossible..or unlikely except for the bravest Geniuses for example.

If I am in a relationship, I enjoy hearing the person I am with addressing me by my name. It just feels nice. I also like hearing my friends call me by my nickname too. So yes, I like hearing my name. I sat for a few minutes thinking about why, and I decided that it makes me feel special ♡. I don't know if that's weird or not...oh well (:

Oh, and, as for the "I love you" part, I rarely, if ever, say it without the "I". I guess because it is a declaration of one's feelings; it is for me anyways. Plus it doesn't sound right in my mind the other way.

Hello everybody. Thank you for the replies. I hope you are all doing good today.
@BrendanFlock, this is a reply to your first post made on 10/05/2015 at 9:12 PM,
Unfortunately these days I don't come in contact with hardly anyone besides my family/relatives. Even they hardly ever call me by my first name and of course they know it. They also used to never say, "I love you". They would always forget the "I". It was only until I mentioned something about it that they started to include the "I". I said that it doesn't seem as personal or sincere. And when I asked them why they always just say "Love you" they couldn't really give me any answer. After I mentioned this they have started to say "I love you". (When it is necessary of course)
@BrendanFlock, this is a reply to your second post made on 10/08/2015 at 1:26 AM,
The people that I was referring to in this thread definitely know my name by now they just very rarely ever call me by it.
@BobaJones, this is a reply to your post made on 10/07/15 at 2:15 AM,
I had a "friend" for about 3 years once that I think only called me by my name a handful of times or so. At the time I thought we were good friends but now I realize how wrong I was to think this. The only thing we ever had in common was smoking weed and liking a few of the same bands. Also, something weird that I noticed-it was hard for me to look him in the eye. I always broke eye contact after a certain period of time. What that meant? I'm not exactly sure... It wasn't that I was scared of him (physically) literally speaking, if it came down to a death match between the two of us I would have triumphed.
@hulahoops, this is a reply to your post made on 10/08/15 at 10:37 PM,
I don't think it is weird. I guess I'm the same way... hence why I made this thread in the first place. I've never been in a (serious) relationship myself. Of course I'm not including the little "boyfriend/girlfriend" relationships I had when I was in middle school... haha. It's even been several years since my last sexual encounter with the opposite gender.
Guys and gals, again, thank you so much for the replies to my thread. I very much appreciate it. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Take care everybody! I look forward to hearing back from you all or seeing you around the forums sometime in the near future. Peace and Love,
Big Feely
