Is there anything unusual about being called "darling" by a favorite teacher?

Hello, dear!

The term "baby" might have been used when we were very young, in kindergarten, by the teachers or the nannies around us.

And if we go to an interest class, the teacher in the interest class will see that we are small and they will love us just the same! They may even call us "baby," which is totally okay!

Then, as we gradually grow up and enter elementary school, middle school, and even higher institutions of learning in the future, at this time, teachers generally or even no longer use the term "baby" to refer to their students. Instead, they'll call them by their first names or the two characters "小明" (Xiaoming) stacked together.

As we grow up and mature, we tend to reserve the term "baby" for those closest to us, like our parents, grandparents, and later, our close friends, lovers, and spouses.

If you feel like this kind of address is inappropriate, you're not alone! It can be confusing and even a little uncomfortable at times. But it's also a natural part of growing up and forming relationships. It shows that you value the teacher and feel a close connection with them. It's also a way of expressing your desire for relationships and attention.

On the other hand, it also shows our desire for relationships and our thirst for attention.

On the other hand, if you feel uncomfortable, you can absolutely speak up and let the teacher know how you're feeling. It's totally okay to say no or share your thoughts and opinions.

Hello, I'm Strawberry.

From what you've said, it seems like you're attached to a same-sex teacher. I don't know the age difference between you and the teacher, so I can't say for sure. It's totally normal to like a teacher you work with. It's a kind of respect and affection for the teacher, and you feel that the teacher has a very good character.

Sometimes, our feelings for someone are a reflection of our own thoughts and feelings. In psychology, "projection" is a term used to describe a psychological phenomenon in which a person projects their own values, emotions, likes, and dislikes onto people, things, and objects in the outside world.

The questioner looks up to their teacher and hopes to become as outstanding as them. The teacher is usually very attentive and this makes you more willing to interact with them and confide in them. You're a little confused about this fondness.

This teacher sometimes calls you "baby." If this term is used between a teacher and a student, it's similar to how a teacher in the beauty industry calls their apprentices. This kind of term can promote a sense of teamwork and a sense of affinity, making people feel like they're like family.

So the questioner can think more in this direction about the teacher's name. For her, it may just be a name, without any other feelings attached. As long as you're okay with it, that's fine.

Is it weird to be called "baby" by the teacher? Is there anything wrong with it?

1. Remember, everyone thinks differently.

It seems like the questioner only has this idea after hearing something from someone else. From what you said, it seems like you can accept your teacher calling you that.

We all think differently, and that includes how we accept things. Whether you can accept it or not is up to you. As long as you don't take it personally, it's just a normal thing.

2. Speak up!

If you or someone else feels the name is inappropriate, you can just say so. If it's you, you can joke with your teacher that this is what your partner or family calls you. A reasonable teacher will understand what you mean.

If you're okay with it but others aren't, you can speak up. It's up to them whether they're okay with it or not.

3. The real reason behind liking this name

As a general rule, the word "baby" is more of a term that parents or partners call their children when they're young. It can make us feel loved by our parents and partners, which can make us feel secure. So, if we can accept this term, it may also be because we want to feel secure.

I hope this helps answer the question. Best regards.

This kind of intimate and affectionate address is perfectly acceptable for students under the age of eight. We commonly refer to children as "baby," and if you are called this by your favorite teacher, it likely depends on your age.

Everyone is a treasure, but it's important to remember that titles matter. Maintain appropriate boundaries in public, especially in formal learning and work spaces. You value this same-sex teacher greatly, which shows the strength of your relationship.

This will make you love learning more and help you break through your own limits in your studies. You will feel that this teacher is a part of you, and this is entirely possible. The care that the teacher gives you, you can hold in the palm of your hand.

This is a precious memory of yours. Cherish it and keep it carefully. It will become a good presence that heals you. In the future, if something sad happens, remember the beauties you once received.

You can use the goodness in these palms to extricate yourself from difficulties and gain clarity about your future energy. This teacher will call you "baby," and you can accept it. At the same time, remember the identity of both parties. There are still necessary boundaries between teachers and students. Best wishes.
