It may be possible that a work incident has made it so hearing your name in passing making you twitch is because it's always used in a non-positive way.

I worked at a toxic workplace and if I ever heard my name that wasn't directly at me, it was because someone was sharing drama that involved me. Or I was being mocked. Or worse, they were preparing to rip into me.

My new job, everyone is pretty positive and if I hear my name across the hall, I'm excited.
