I've always felt very unattached to my name, as well as my birthday or any other meaningless info about me. What matters are my ideas and personality - THAT'S who I am.
I explained to my therapist that many people are confused when I express no preference for John or Johnathan, and their response was “we neurodivergent folks conceive of our sense of self differently. Yours might not be tied to your name.”
Been thinking about this for a goddamned week.
