Just need some perspective on this.
Most of my life people have always picked on me and made me the butt of the joke and idk why but when that happens I guess I just let shit happen to me because I get nervous.
But it just feels like almost everyone I meet it’s like they try to pick on me and I’m not sure what to do or say. I feel this way around my friends and sometimes co-workers, and because my face is always so serious I try to laugh to show them I’m not offended or anything but I just feel like people can just say whatever they want to me. For instance, at work when we’re in a group that needs to work together people would just joke on me a lot and that’s no big deal but it feels like they’re just making me the butt of the joke and I can’t verbally defend myself.
Idk if I’m making sense but I get the sense that people like to poke fun at me a lot and idk why. Im pretty shy and quiet and don’t like to talk much, I just want to know how I should conduct myself when these things happen.
