I'd just like to express my thoughts on something I noticed yesterday morning:
No one calls me Emily.
When someone in my family wants my attention, they just talk and hope that I'm listening (which of course I always am but that is besides the point)
At work, when someone wants my attention, they look at me, tap my shoulder, or use my last name. They even use my last name when talking about me to other members of staff.
My boyfriend calls me 'Em', but it doesn't really count.
It has gotten to the point that whenever someone asks what my name is, saying 'Emily' doesn't feel right. It sounds so strange saying my name and I don't know if that's good or bad.
