Is it normal to hate when people refer to me as "sweetie" or "dear"?
If I'm having a conversation or simply bringing up an important topic, occasionally the person I'm talking to will respond and end the sentence with, "sweetie" or "dear" and even, "honey" - it's something that my mother used to say, and so when I hear other people say it to me, it sounds... condescending? It's as if I'm being spoken to as a mere child, and sometimes, people who are younger than me might say this.
It is normal to dislike it?
