I am a person, not your dog.

I HATE PET NAMES.

I don't think there's anything I hate more. I seriously hate it.

I was given a name for a reason! Use it!

And why is this suddenly becoming a problem for me now, when my whole life people just treated me like a normal person. Now suddenly every guy I talk to wants to call me something stupid or creepy. Is it something I'm doing?? Or have I just been running into these guys by chance and it's a weird coincidence? Am I giving off vibes that makes them think that's ok??! WTF

THIS IS A GIRL. I HAVEN'T BOTHERED TO NAME HER YET.

Am I the only person in the world who feels this way? AM I CRAZY? I hear people using them all the time. Happy, functioning, normal people. It seems like the majority of the population enjoy using them. But they make cringe violently. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. Everybody else think's it sweet. But if I hear someone call me "sweetie" or "hunny" or "chicka" I want to puke. I want that person to get out of my face. That's not my name. I am not your dog, cat, or breakfast. Call me by a name. Or leave me alone.

Are you gay or are you just trying to patronize me?

You can call me anything. You could call me Greg, and that would be fine. Anything is better than "bunnyboogers" or whatever it is you call people. Learn my name and stop treating me like I'm some animal.
