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

This has never been term meant just for children, where did you even get that from?
