crummingbird asked: Do you dislike being called adorable (for another reason besides that you find it inaccurate)?

I’m just finicky about the emphasis on being found adorable by so-and-so as opposed to just being adorable. Because if/ when people think such of me, I don’t mind and am often even amused by it. And everyone’s entitled to their opinions, of course.

Just not really a word I associate with myself, so the distinction of it being an opinion is always nice. Or at least not presented as a “fact” about me, haha.
