I know it don't make sense, but I got my reasons

Here's a weird one: reading or hearing [given name] coming from most people makes me uncomfortable at best, hurt at worst and yet I never correct them because unless someone's actually pissed me off, I'm pretty non-confrontational.

However!

Girl, without ever being directly asked to do so, refers to me as [chosen name]...and it sounds weird. I'm so used to her calling me a variant of [given name] that is kind of sweet and a bit off. It's nice that she calls me [chosen name], but it leaves me...eh. But full [given name] makes my skin crawl anymore. So I have no fucking clue what to do.
