So I have this friend/roommate. Ever since I returned from the hospital, he has decided it is funny to poke fun at me whenever I do anything quirky or socially awkward by telling me I need to "be a human". It's really annoying and degrading because I can't really help having the problems I do (PTSD in particular) and me having an overreaction to someone knocking on my door or popping a balloon isn't my fault. Calling me "inhuman" when I yelp at a loud noise or laugh to myself when thinking of a funny joke or even getting a little loopy because I forgot to take my meds isn't fair.

Last night, he was grumpy after school and I was very on edge and jumpy/shaky. He told me that I need to act like a human or so he'd do something to me I don't really remember what he said. I am overly sassy and I know he's full of it and I said "is that a threat or a promise?" He didn't respond until today when he texted me "Just for the record, I'm going to ask you to be a human until you act like one" and telling me he doesn't appreciate my sass. Well, I don't appreciate him degrading me because I have some issues. It's not like he's Mr Perfect over there and I'm not degrading him or threatening him. And how exactly does a human act anyway? I eat at the table and crap in the toilet and walk on two legs and contribute to conversation. But I guess that because I get nervous and don't always behave in the most socially polished way or get scared and dissociate I am no longer human.

I don't know if I even want to tell him to shove it or not. It might not be worth the drama but at the same time I don't want to just roll over and take it
