I have several groups of friends and two groups take the piss out of me(as a joke)?

Question

I can't just talk to them about it and ask them if they're being serious because they will do it even more, and i can't find a new group of friends because these are the popular group of people, and i know they do like me but i just feel hurt by having the piss taken out of me, what should i do?

Answer 1

Well the 2 groups that take the piss are actually just mates, not friends. They'll invite you places etc, but they wouldn't save your life most likely.

The other group that doesn't take the piss, are proper friends and would probably do anything for you.



Whatever you do, never drop the last group like a stone just to hang out with the "popular" crowd.



Keep them all in your life, but learn to differentiate, and who to give your loyalty to.

Answer 2

You said they only do it as a joke. Perhaps there is no actual vindictiveness and you're being over sensitive...?



But, you need to ask yourself: do they make jokes at everyone's expense, or just yours? and do you feel in a position to rip it out of them as much as they do you? If not, you should make it obvious you are not amused by the things they say, and if they don't take the hint you should hang out with them less, or stop haning out with them all together. Taking the piss is fine so long as everyone involved is enjoying themselves... but if you don't enjoy being with them, then whether they're popular or not is irrelevant. It might seem important now, but school/college is only a very small fraction of your life, and once you've left it's important you have good friends who are your equals - it will be no good having friends who you don't feel comfortable with and the fact that they used to be the popular crowd in school will not count for much.

Answer 3

They aren't your friends kid. Get some real friends who consider your feelings. Anyone who insults you as an inconsiderate joke isn't your friend.



I used to be popular but never mean, but I now see how shallow those groups that I "hung" out with were. I'm an adult now and my closest friends are my fiance, a guy I grew up with and my brother. I can't be bothered with people who's idea of socializing is on the level of the Jersey Shore. You're better off with a small intimate group that care about each other.

Answer 5

Make new friends and get rid of the ones who upset you if this is possible
