Doing this creates immense levels of anxiety when having to introduce myself to people because I *know* I can't trick my brain and pick a different word, you have to say your name =) I've been trying to force myself to say my name more, but there's something about the awkward 2-5 second block with the other person just staring at you that is tough to get over.
