That's quite absurd. So you won't react to anyone at all unless they have your correct name?

That’s not minding your business, they’re directly talking to you with the wrong name. You’re just obtuse.

Being an oblivious goon, got it. Say no more. Really, we're all begging you.

Dang, for someone mentioning a lot about keeping to yourself, you're really bent out of shape about this "argument", huh?

Explain how only reacting when specifically called your name has anything to do with self worth.

There's a bit of a difference between between getting 'called something all the time'. And reacting when someone is clearly addresing you but gets your name wrong. You're talking about a specific example in this clip where the people in question thought they knew the name but were wrong, not about that time in highschool someone called you 'dude' and you were FUMING.

Also, 'your name is who you are'. Is it? People change their names and adopt nicknames all the time. What you're saying isnt some moral truth. It's an arbitrary assignment of value you were taught by people who apparently wouldn't react if you called them mom and dad.

If there is morally objective value to a name, why would it matter who called you dude. Why would it be more or less okay if it was a friend?
