It feels weird to call people older than me by their first name

Like for me, I’d only call my older people by their first name if they introduced themselves as that when I was a kid. Now I’m older and they’re like “please call me Diane” and I’m like “hell nah”

The only people I have this with are teachers and professors who I remained friends with after I was no longer their student. Sorry but I can only call you Dr. Smith or whatever, it feels disrespectful to do anything else

It depends on what I was first introduced to them as. Some of my friends’ parents I refer to by first name but some of them I just call Mr/Mrs Lastname.
