I’m sure there are other groups that do it too, but I’ve noticed it most often from christian apologists, probably in part case I like listening to debates/discussions with them from atheist youtubers, but I’ve also noticed it talking to christians myself.
It always feels super weird to me, but that’s also coming from someone who feels weird with eye contact and saying other peoples names, so maybe it’s just me. Has anybody else noticed it, or are there other people you’ve noticed that do that? Does it seem weird to you?
Technique to build familiarity. Obviously doesn’t work on everyone but for those it does it’s quite effective
Literally anyone that’s trying to sell you something whether it’s a product, service or ideology is likely to use it if it may increase their chance of success.
If at any point someone keeps using my name in casual conversation with me, I get increadibly uncomfortable and suspicious about their motives.
