I don't really know where else to put this.
Partly I need some advice, because I just wonder if I'm being way too sensitive. I have a few friends who kind of make me feel bad about myself sometimes. Like, they make fun of me a lot, and I know that's their sense of humour, but I have a lot of trouble taking it lightly. Some of the things they make fun of me for are genuine personality faults that I'm really working on, like the fact that I talk too much (which I do out of shyness and lack of confidence, btw), and others are stuff that's kind of personal but they know about, like the fact that I haven't had sex in a long time (which they sort of just guessed at, since no one has seen me with a guy in over a year). But sometimes the things people say to me really hurt, and I've never really been good with the kind of humour that involves making fun of people. It's ok when it's occasional and maybe related to something silly I did right then, but when it's all the time I have a lot of trouble with it, even though the kind of people who do it do it to everyone.
Am I being too sensitive? If so, any advice on how to swallow that better?
Does anyone else feel this way sometimes?
