I have some interest in chemistry and after a while when I hear "phile" my first thought is "they are attracted to water".
Hydrophilic!
A nucleophile happens by and notices your electrophile. Your electrophile is attracted to their greater electron density and ditches you, the leaving group, for them. Was this SN1 or SN2?
So.. you are a chemophile!! See what I mean? It kind of sounds negative without it being the case.
That part where it sounds negative is happening in your own head.
I think if you step back and evaluate this thread, you’ll find we’re all telling you it’s a non-problem.
My advice is to not worry about it and move on.
And, long shot, maybe take a look at your social surroundings and see if you’ve been in a group of pathological offense-takers. Hanging out with these types can result in your seeing the world as a minefield of unintended social insult.
It really seems to me like the thing you’re worried about is a non-issue.
