Ive gotten so used to using babe in a friendly way that I almost keep using it on people I dont know if their comfortable w it.
I cant stop using it bc WHAT ELSE DO I CALL PEOPLE I WANT TO BE NICE TOO?? bro, dude and girlie is too informal (plus im friends w non binary people i dont want them to get the wrong idea that im misgendering them)
Plus i dont want to slip up and give people the impression im flirting with them T~T
