my friends in real life and internet friends all say good things about me yea but they also call me names like “buddy” or smol stuff like that, and i appreciate it sure but i also think they treat me like as if i was a child or a smaller person but i don’t know why!!! i can ask them but i don’t want to offend them or make them feel bad so that’s why i’m asking here, thanks!!!
I dunno. This seems fairly accurate:
The only time I’ve ever been called “buddy” as an adult is when I’m trespassing drunks who’re indignant at being told not to piss on my tenant’s window. (Or that i wouldn’t shake their hand.)(every damn time. Eww)
