This is not correct. We wait until someone else says their name.
For real. Came into work for six months and talked to this dude about a bunch of stuff every time. Only a week ago did I find out his name. Now I can finally say his name instead of starting off with “hey bro”
At least you remember names. Someone can tell me their name, I’ll repeat it as suggested, forget it a few days later anyway.
I’ll remember a phone number before someone’s name.
Hell, I remember one dude as initials + his age when I met him. I don’t know why. Example: If I met John Doe aged 32, there’s a chance I’d remember him as “JD32”, and forget his actual name.
Shout-out to MK22, I forgot your name again.I just remember faces for 20 years, no clue about their names.
The only reason you need to know someone’s name is to talk about them behind their back.

basic social etiquette lol
in other words, forced and unnatural and unnecessary behavior that is just a parasite eating your lifetime and energy

why say their name when you could instead say “guy” or “man”, or, occasionally, “buddy”?
Don’t forget the universal “Dude” and “Bro”
This is the correct way to do friendships. Drag doesn’t agree with the forced intimacy of learning someone’s name the same day you meet them. Names should be shared the third time you meet someone. Of course sometimes it’s necessary to learn names earlier or later, but the default should be third.
