Ahh, yes. I had to get used into hearing and responding when someone calls me by my first name too. Been there, done that.
Same here! For the first time in a long time, I heard somebody call me by my nickname again. It was strange yet comforting at the same time.
Hearing my mother call me by my nickname warms my heart. It has been a long time. Feels like home indeed.
Transitioning is hard but i do love being called by my first name though at home
Comes with the territory. I still remember having this exact problem the first time I went home. Still can't get used to it, our world is just very different
I still sit up straight every time I hear my last name. I think it is already ingrained into my system
I've been in the army for 5 years and just recently got out. Being a civilian again feels like being reborn almost
It's also uncomfortable now when people ask me to do things with "please" and "thank you"
You'll get used to it. Congrats on being a civilian again. It'll take some time but you'll be good
Things will work themselves out in a few weeks. It’s all about expectations. Try to find joy in the little things in life.
You'll get used to it, what gets me is still being called sir.
I know right? I sometimes need to remind myself that I am at home. Lol
