Does your T use nicknames like dear or honey? How do you feel about it? Do you feel differently when your T calls you that than when other people do? Do you call your T any names like this?

In the last few weeks I've noticed my T call me things like "my dear", "dear", and today "sweetie". Usually if a stranger does this, like someone at a store or something, it bothers me. But I love it when T calls me stuff like this. Especially when she says "my dear". I don't call her anything other than her first name. I don't really do nicknames for anyone, and it would make me feel weird to call her something else.
