Am I being rude for asking to not be called "bro"? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Someone I live with insists on calling me "bro" and "dude", despite my repeated pleas for cessation, citing ideolect as a defence.

I get that "bro" and "dude" are part of their vocabulary, but it hurts. Am I in the wrong here?

P.S. Is this the right community for this kind of question?

I struggle with boundaries and such, so this is a nice little reality-check. Thanks!
