What do you think of people that go 3rd person on ya

[d'ster]

got a relative that does it, hard to be around people that call themselves by their first name, isn't it?

[GoNolesTX]

Instant tune out for me. My immediate thought is, "this person has no intention of taking anything serious at all, I'm out."

George Remus was famous for talking about himself in the 3rd person. Was pretty successful too.

It absolutely drives me crazy.

It's just above people who post pictures of their food using a bad cell phone camera.

I always thought this was a joke - surprised you all know people who actually do this!

There's a dude on the gator board that ONLY refers to himself in third person...seems like a decent guy though...good sense of humor.

People who stutter are sometimes encouraged to speak in third person to avoid saying "I", which can be particularly tough when starting a sentence.

There’s another holiday “issue” that’s much, much bigger in my family. Others too, I suspect.

I don't know, but he seems cheerful despite claiming to be sad.

I wondered how quickly we’d get a Jimmy reference. Bravo, sir!

 

[Gonolz]

Is it really referring to yourself in the third person if you have multiple personalities?
