"Affectionate” insults—I don’t really do them.

I don’t call anyone the "n" word, I don’t call my friends "b*tches","h*es" or "c*nts". I didn’t grow up with that kind of thing. It feels like a disconnect to me. I heard it enough from enemies, I don’t [b]need[/b] it from so-called friends. 😞

Someone has given you an affectionate insult recently? I'm so sorry, people need to watch their tongues at times. I've seen it too many times, whereas a little thought of what you are saying, recognizing another person, goes a long way.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Someone I liked used it as a broad greeting. I blocked them, but I think I’ll probably unblock them, they’re not a bad person.
It’s just not something I’m used to. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard Hard for me to reply upon the personal elements without seeing, of course. We can get sensitive over elements not directed towards ourselves, and each person is unique, learning in their own way, but as long as you feel you can find respect within the person you are talking of, I hope you can find that respect. I prefer an open world, and open heart, but if whoever they are says things you can't accept; don't.
