First of all, thanks for reminding me about ge/gij. I am born in Flanders, raised in Flemish, and lived there for 28 years and I forgot about that.

When I was growing up people did not address me with je/jij. My mom was a teacher. Ge/gij all the time.

And if you want to be polite you would switch to u/u.

And I get the same vibes as you do. But since ge/gij is not suitable for formal communication I insist on using u/u. This also increases the barrier to use any kind of infantile cosy language.

'Wees gerust' just irks me.
