i used to dislike words such as honey, baby, sweetie, ect. ... even from someone that i knew intimately. but as i've gotten older, i deal with it differently. those who have formed a habit, say with the word honey, and it seems to come with every other sentence spoken, ... that's a dislike for me. and some people think the word baby will get them something they want. i've never gave more if the word baby was thrown in (well not exactly true lol). but i like to feel that comfort from someone that seems to genuinely use words to love. if a child needs attention, and a woman says, "aww sweetie, i'm sorry.", ... and she seems to genuinely care, ... i like that. i loved it as a child when momma would say bless your heart, because i knew she meant it. it wasn't said for no reason. i catch myself saying some of these words, but i say them to share comfort/understanding. i would not say if i didn't mean it. and i don't say to just anyone. i do say, but rare.
