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?
It’s often said that people like to hear their own name, so once you know someones name, if you want them to like you, use their name frequently when addressing them.
But I mean, when you’re apologizing for a violent death cult, I guess it helps to use as many cheap psychological tricks as you can to justify all the fucking abuse, gaslighting, and hate.
Speaking as a guy who often gets lost in a conversation and can’t think of what to do or say, personality mirroring is my goto. It makes conversations easy. Just copy them. Gotten positive results.
also, about the handshake. So you just hold the guy’s hand until he gets uncomfortable a pulls away? I haven’t tried that.

Repition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.

It’s from an episode of The Office, and it only works in the short term for Andy Bernard.
Joke’s on them, I hate the sound of my name.
