So my full name is a shortened version of a traditional name like how John is short for Johnathan. I hate how many times I’ve told people my name and they will continue to call me the traditional name despite me correcting them

I’ve also literally had older people tell me that they’ll call me by my full name cause they don’t like nicknames. Like come on do I need to show my drivers license?

This is so frustrating even as someone who does legally have the full name. But the shortened version I go by can be a nickname for 2 different longer names, so people will assume it’s the incorrect one 🫩 like I have NEVER introduced myself as anything but the shortened version so what are we doing

Whys it so hard to just call people by what they say their name is

My full name is a really unique name, but the shortened version I go by can be sorry for like, three more traditional names, so I get called the wrong names on a daily basis. It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I correct people.
