It’s now been a few times where an older adult (maybe 50+ years old) has called me “endearing”, i always associated this term with children, but i am fully grown adult. Is there something i’m doing wrong? Why are people using a term for children for adults?

Edit: ok thanks everyone, apparently there’s a misunderstanding on my part and this word can be used for adults

    Webster dictionary…

    ‘arousing feelings of affection or admiration’

    I’ve never considered the term to be only for children.
