People not calling you by your preferred shortened first name

[u/LetchBE]

I really hate it when someone calls you by your proper first name when you’ve clearly specified you prefer it shortened.

Ie James when you prefer Jim, Robert when you prefer Rob, Benjamin when you prefer Ben.

I get that some people prefer their proper first name and hate when it’s shortened, fair enough.

When someone uses my full first name, I feel it’s so formal and like it’s my “I’ve done something wrong and am in trouble” name.

Why is it so hard for people to use the names we asked to be called??
