overlap

why is it some people are afraid of letting their circles of friends overlap? even their families. maybe they aren't. but to me when one keeps from mentioning different commitments to different parties in a bid to promote mutual understanding, that's just weird. it's an irrational thing i do sometimes too.

"i'm going off now." "i was out." "gonna meet some friends."

i mean. was throwing in some names so hard? or at least some details? would the mentioned parties be offended/prefer it this way if they knew? because hey, you gotta assume the party you're speaking to actually cares, or what else is your relationship built on anyways.

tl;dr i prefer being referred to by my name in any third party conversation because it builds my ego.
