<human>: Hey guys - I need some advice on my name.  This may sound like something petty, but it causes me daily anxiety.

So, my given name is Timothy.  As a kid, I was always Timmy.  My dad has the same name as me, and it was a great way of identifying us- He is Tim, I am Timmy.  Now, Timmy has quite the childish stigma to it - Whether it be Timmy Turner, Timmy from Lassie, Timmy from South Park, etc. Anyways, the amount of times I've heard, "So I can't really call you Timmy anymore now, huh?" or "wow I've never heard of anybody above the age of 10 who goes by Timmy."  In high school (maybe even sometime in middle school) I started writing Tim on my papers.  Teachers would ask what I preferred and I would say I didn't care, but that they could call me Tim.  During my job in high school, I went by Tim.  Same here with my current job.  People who I meet, I normally introduce myself as Tim just for sake of ease.  But there are also still a ton of people who call me Timmy, including my closest friends and family.  If I'm with people that call me Timmy then I normally introduce myself as such, and vice versa.  It gives me a ton of anxiety as I am never sure how to introduce myself or how to deal with people calling me different names.  I have had people make fun of me when they hear people calling me Timmy.  Is it bad to say something like, "Hey, I'm Tim.  Friends call me Timmy but you can call whichever," or something to that extent?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Name is Timothy, people call me Tim or Timmy, and I don't mind either. Gives me anxiety and keeps me from wanting to introduce myself.
