I hear you - loud and clear.
I personally have found the popular use of both the first and the third person to refer to oneself here to be a bit disconcerting. "I like to go and buy clothes for Julie" As if Julie were a completely separate person. While it might be the experience for some folks that they are living with multiple identities in their body (though I would be surprised if that were the case for the vast majority) it seems to be a particularly odd quirk of this community. And that might just be saying something.
