How do you deal with friends that always make fun of you?

Call them out on it or find new friends

Some of my friends used to be like that.

The worse ones I cut out of my life, the ones that followed along with those guys stopped when I became more successful than them and started to respect me more. They'll never be the "true friends" you're looking for though

Find a way to get their respect or drop them

These aren't real friends, plain and simple.

An actual friend would care for your social life, care for your image and care about looking and being the best you are. They'd either wing you or let you do your thing and then offer their take after.

Look, banter is a thing. But:

>every little action
>made into a joke
>consistently
>any minor faux pas

It IS a big deal. Either set them straight or ghost them.

Tell them to cut that shit off. If they don't then cut them off and make new friends

Sounds like you're the designated butt monkey of your group. My group banters really hard saying things that'll make the Westboro Baptist Church do a double take, but when it comes to getting laid, getting a job, etc, we support each other 100% of the way.

Either have a good talk with them or get a new set of friends

This sounds like a situation where talking to them is going to give them more fodder for harrassment. Either never respond in any type of way, or drop them completely. Theres nothing wrong with friendly banter, but when it comes to you having to deal with things like trying to get a girl, homies should be supporting your boner. They sound like tiny dick butt monkeys.

honestly, this dude sounds like douchebag and there are probably other friends you have who also consider him a douchebag.

i had a friend like that once, used to consider him one of best friends too. eventually i just wised up and cut him out my life unceremoniously. at first i was worried i was going to be making myself a social outcast among my group, but it didn't really happen. i talked to a few other friends about it, and they also had their own reservations about him. fast forward a few years, my social life is better than it has ever been, and that dude has basically been cut off from everybody.

Thanks for the input.

I failed to clarify something though. I wasn't actually trying to get with this girl as she is the gf of one of my friends. So its not as big a deal as i made it sound.

The above being said i still find it annoying, as socialising itself just becomes harder.

Yep a few friends have mentioned some reservations. Not sure if anyone has my friend to try hold back a bit with the jokes one on one. So i will try give my friend some constructive feedback.

Sounds like they're either really good friends who see you as someone with as sense of humor or you are the joke of the group.

If it's getting you down, try to act cool and make them seem immature for their jokes.

btw friends are usually somewhat a reflection of you, so make sure you aren't a hypocrite and guilty of doing this to them.
