i know its hard but try not to let your social interactions define how you feel about yourself.

if your friends make fun of you it may be because they feel they are just that familiar with you. friends make fun of each other, but sometimes its hard to tell if its coming from the right place. if its not coming from the right place then i dont think you dont need friends like that. but keep in mind how we feel about ourselves can effect how we see the actions/intentions of others.

people can often sense social insecurities in others, it can cause awkward interactions. but dont take it personally, just know that they are as unsure as you when they sense that.
