@iamcameliajanelle: #stitch with @Humblemenails This nail tech was so uncomfortable about her client setting this very simple boundary. What do yall think? #cameliajanellespeaks #fyp #Love #nicknames #nailtech
I love when people call me little pet names. But I can understand why people don’t like it

I ignore people like that, because they think they will gain control of how I speak. so I simply no longer speak to them. I have boundaries as well

thank you for this perspective. I love being called by terms of endearment. but I'm wondering, is it ever a power move for some? bc I grew up around girls who would "hon" everybody, but when I tried

My mom gets mad at my dad for calling people beautiful and I understand how people could feel uncomfortable. I tell him to say beautiful soul.

To me a nickname is personal. Babe, love, etc. It makes me uncomfortable. But I know the people saying it are coming from a good place so I try to work through my own discomfort. It’s my issue…

I have lots of kiddo neighbors. I called one hon and she clarified that wasn’t her name and I respected that. Her brother clarified he liked “hon.”

I associate BIG childhood trauma with being called “Pumpkin”. No one knows that until they call me Pumpkin. I explain, they stop. It’s all good. 👍

“Honey” “cutie” “sweetie” etc. from a stranger is NEVER a compliment.

💯 I had a coworker who would call me “sweetie” or “hun”. It felt like she was talking to me like a child & she didn’t say it to male coworkers.

I use ‘friend’ a lot with strangers, tends to go over better. BUT some people are just NOT open to connecting, and they’re who typically object.

It could trigger some sort of childhood abuse too. And the name makes them feel shame or disgust

I live in the south so I understand that it can be cultural. If someone said they didn’t like it you should apologize and not argue that everyone else is fine with it

I get it. You never know what those pet names are connected to. We my see it as something nice but it could be something completely different to them.

I’ve noticed that people who don’t really like me use my full name friends and people who like me usually call me a nickname. In hs I would tell people I didn’t like to call me my full name only 1/2

If someone asks me not to call them that anymore I just say, “Oh, I’m so sorry about that! I won’t anymore.” And then move on ✨
