It's Sara not Sarah!

A funny thought came to me this morning, all of my life people have said (and written) my name wrong. I have been called Sarah, Zara and Sahara more times than I can remember but the funny thing is that I don't like to correct people. I actually feel embarrassed about doing it, I feel as though I'm being rude!

How hard is that??!!

When I was at school if an adult or teacher said my name wrong, my class mates usually sang out "it's Sara not Sarah!" so I didn't have to correct people myself. 

Damn Right!

I know it sounds crazy, why wouldn't I correct people for saying my name wrong? I'm guessing it's another symptom of low self-esteem. I especially hate doing it when I've already corrected someone once and then they say it wrong again. I feel as though I've corrected them once and if they can't be bothered to get it right then they clearly don't care enough... I know, stupid right!

On the other hand, there are people I don't like who get my name wrong and I don't even think about correcting them as I don't care if they know it or not. Then there are the people who ask "what's the difference?" Doh!

Even Coca-Cola knows there's a difference...

Bus stop by my house... I'm bus stop famous!

I don't even drink Coke!

This is just another example of how low self-esteem affects my life and another thing I need to add to the 'push outside my comfort zone' list.
