I understand exactly where your coming from. It’s not easy but I don’t think letting people make fun of you as away of being a friend is totally the right way to go either. I mean I do understand. In high school I had the save way of thinking. I had people ask of it was ok to laugh or make fun and I said yes. But eventually it wasn’t, because this opens the door for anyone in earshot of your “friends” teasing you to join in. And on top of that, at 29 looking back, it’s affected my mental health. Just the same as you don’t feel comfortable with someone treating you overly nice it’s not ok to go to far the other way because it will take a toll eventually and you have to figure out how to back peddle on what you have already said is ok. And it’s tough. I’m not saying that the people that ask to make fun of you aren’t your friends. But eventually you might build a grudge or resentment because it gets taken too far. Now that I’m thinking of it, I wish someone would have told me all of this in high school
