What is third person referral?

Third-person referral is a communication technique where a speaker refers to themselves or their actions indirectly by using third-person pronouns or their name instead of first-person pronouns like "I" or "me." This approach can create a sense of distance or objectivity in conversation. It's often used in professional settings or storytelling to shift focus from the speaker to the subject being discussed. However, it can sometimes come off as overly formal or detached.
