    It always annoys me that people call each other by name in movies.

    Yeah, it’s so you know who the characters are, but who actually does that in real life?

      Me. But I’m autistic so I don’t think I’m exactly a good snapshot of the general public.

      Pretty normal where I live tbh. Kids use each other’s names for each other 99% of the time. It would be ultra weird to use “brother/sister” in daily speech. That’s how it’s written in shitty books and TV novellas over here tbh…

      I call my friends by name all the time. One of them walks into wherever we’re gathering, and I’ll call out Nick and give my boy a hug for example.
