Is it irrational to NOT want certain people to call you by a nickname? A nickname that several others use regularly? And not so much people as one person?
No, you should be called what you want to be called. Actually it's easier if only one person calls you that because you can say "I prefer to be called X " and when they say "but bob calls you Y", you can say "yeah, that's our thing, and I don't like it when someone else calls me Y"
Dear V's Mom:
We love you because you gave us our V, and because we love V, we love you. That's how it works. But for Heaven's sakes, SERIOUSLY???
Love,
The Empress
Is there anyway she can hitch a ride with someone else there and you can make an appearance for dessert and take her home?

Well, that's the problem. It's a reunion, so the only person my mother knows is the host. I was hoping that my brother could take one for the team on this, but he's out of town.

Ah, this is me and hugging. (Though I was actually told that I "can't" hug selectively; either I hug everyone who wants to put their grubby paws around me, or I hug no one at all.)
(BODILY AUTONOMY, MOTHERFUCKERS.)

I'm pretty sure anyone who thinks this should get punched in the head. And not in a fun way.

WTFuckingF? Not on, person who said that. We smite, shun, spurn and otherwise refudiate you.
By having a torso you were clearly asking for it.

Not at all. I just had the same issue, someone at work found out my personal email starts with billytea and decided to start calling me that. Aside from the presumptuousness, it is so not my work name. You guys call me billytea. He's not you guys.

You mentioned once that you prefer to be called William in person, and so when I've seen you in person, I've done that (even if my brain is still calling you billytea, it's INSIDE). Because that's what you prefer.
