Give people nicknames. Give everyone a nickname. It doesn’t even need to make a ton of sense, but I think it’s a sign of effraction for someone to have something special you call them. Make it their contact name too.

I don't think we realize how important nicknames are to our society. When I was a wee lad I thought my name was un-nickname-able and my hopes and spirits were crushed. Years later I have earned a nickname so well that it has replaced my actual name. I think everyone deserves to feel the joy of having a nickname. The community and bonding attached to giving and receiving a nickname is unmatched. Truly a life altering experience.

not many people my age are named it which is why i used to hate it as a kid, but i've grown to love it. precisely because it's not "fitting" for my age practically everyone in my life calls me nicknames, which are fun and silly, but are also NOT my name, so it can get tiring sometimes lol. i honestly adore it now and when someone close to me (so professors/academic figures/etc. don't count) uses it i kind of percieve it as a sign of respect, even an act of love. it's intimate, really. i'd love it if people used it more :').

Recently been just calling up random friends that I haven’t connected with in a long time. I have this association that a cold call from a friend means bad news and I want to rewire that neural pathway one cold call at a time.
