I lived in this town since 2007. Guaranteed none of the friends I made back then are still my friends now.
As for that GM, he may have been a tad too familiar with me when he called me those terms. But then again, he had called half of us similar terms occasionally. Because he’s a nice person. Lots of people mentioned how nice and good he is so it’s not like I was off base for feeling that he’s nice and friendly. Or more accurately, WAS nice and kind.
None of my coworkers agreed that he changed as a person though.

It’s entirely possible that he is a nice and friendly person. I don’t think he changed as a person, he just had to distance himself from you for his own protection. Especially as he is a manager
Your coworkers likely don’t see any change because he never distanced himself from them. He didn’t have the need as they don’t cross boundaries.
So it’s important you maintain appropriate behavior at work. Be friendly but don’t share too much and give people space.
