Sorry about the length of this post but it's something that's been on my mind for a long time. Ok so this may seem strange but I honestly don't know how to deal with this situation. I am suffering from depression so it could be all in my head but I don't think it is.

For years I've noticed that my friends give me zero respect. I always seem to be the butt of jokes ranging from my looks right up to my religious beliefs. I know that friends often make fun of each other but it seems like I can't go an hour in their company without being ridiculed in some way. Also, whenever I tell them something they didn't know, no matter how factual it is, they always argue against me, telling me I'm wrong no matter how much evidence I produce. They just don't seem to trust a single word that comes out of my mouth despite the fact that I've never, to my knowledge, given them any reason not to. Generally they're just small things, little pieces of trivia I've found but they can also be bigger things which affect me personally.

This causes me a lot of upset and I have no idea what to do about it. They are generally friendly but they treat me like an idiot who can't do anything properly. When they stay over at my place, they don't even trust me to cook, instead opting to order takeaways. It's clearly just me too as they accept food cooked by each other when at one of their houses. I would understand if I had served up something substandard in the past but they've never trusted me enough to cook for them even once from the very beginning. I don't want to lose my friends but I can't continue like this. I don't even want to bring it up as I think they'd just mock me and say I'm being emo.

What do you guys think? Am I just overthinking things (I have a tendency to do that) or is this a real issue? If so, how do I deal with it without making things worse?
