I've realised that I never really address people with their names.
I've known this for a while now, and it's lingered at the back of my mind for years, but I never really 'tried' to fix it?.
I've realised since I played basketball when I was 13, I never shouted my teammates names, only ever really "Over here!" or smth like that, but when I was younger, I never had this issue?
Now, I'm 19, and I still struggle with trying to say peoples name's in greeting. Doesn't matter if they're family, friends or regulars where I work, I can't ever seem to say their name if I know it.
I try to, which I have been occasionally successful, but it's minuscule compared to the amount of times I've failed. It's like my throat closes up whenever I try to say their name? So I just greet them instead with a smile as per usual? It's like I have to force their name out of my throat.
I don't have this issue with some of my friends, but the others I do. It may be because of name changes, but I don't think so.
I just want to know if there's any tips to fix this? Any way to reintroduce the idea of saying peoples names, if only in greeting than anything. I watch others do it and it looks so effortless and I imagine it is, but I struggle so much.
