Do you like any of these things? If so, which one? Can you tolerate?
I won't take anything else but dear, everything else seems too degrading. Dear is borderline, though.

Yeah, like the one your mom or older people like to give kids and teens
honey
dear
sweetie
sweety-pie
and the other ones.
My least favorite is sweetie. I feel like hurling a very large rock at them everytime they call me that.

Well, No, I don't actually mean ordinary nicknames like Elizabeth as ellie or liz, at all. I mean the special ones, you know the cute ones. Really, I don't find them cute at all, I find them degrading.
Oh, I thought of a few more.
cutey
sweetheart
baby (unromantic)
Well, some friends like to use them as well, but... I find that quite disrespectful as well. My old friend liked to call me honey. I felt like smacking her everytime she said that.

there are some people who habitually call everyone "hon". If they were just doing it to me, I'd flip out, but since they say it to everyone, I tolerate it.

Oh, I forgot about that one. Yeah, same here. However, at most times, society calls for politeness, so I pretend to be okay with it, but cringing inwardly.

Yes, I know, I ask them, if I could. Sometimes, they won't listen, and sometimes I know they won't be nice about it.
Fortunately all of you are really friendly on here, and I mean it, but not everyone is that friend unfortunately, and those are the toughest people to deal with. And, if you notice, kind folks like you all on here, never have to call each other han or honey. So, usually it's the other kind.
I hate dealing with them, but...
