I have a friend who calls me stupid all the time, so is the reason he calls me stupid because he expects me to ask smarter questions or because he expects me to think before I speak or because he actually think I’m stupid or because he has low self esteem?

Btw he does it in a laughing manner

  1. I would stay away from this friend for a bit. Make yourself unavailable someway/somehow. And don’t feel the need to get back to him quickly. Do this for a few weeks and he will get the message. If he doesn’t get it, slowly stop spending any time around him.

    I say this as I think you might have a hard time speaking up for yourself and this should do the job.

    Good luck to you.

  3. Maybe it has become his habit.

    Right now you are just assuming what the reason might be which will lead to unnecessary overthinking.

    Why not just face him and ask him directly? (in the same laughing manner)

    Btw, this question shouldn’t come out of self-doubt. It should come out of curiosity to improve yourself if required.
