Ope, one of the reason I’m no contact with my mom. I lost all my fam after going no contact bc the foundation to ALL our connections was pseudohostility & I don’t subscribe to that anymore.

and you really feel the difference once you have an actual sarcastic silly friend and realize that sarcasm and jokes don't have to feel hostile they can actually just be funny when the person making the jokes actually respects you and likes you

Then You get surrounded by bad friends because you think this is normal behavior. So sad for young me.

I’ve unfortunately had to learn the hard way that most ppl are just normal sensitive instead of over sensitive because I’ve become numb to mocking and sarcasm. If I’m very comfortable with someone I will mock or tease them but to me it’s endearing and to them I’m just being a bully. I also expect the same mocking and sarcasm from them though so it’s all unhealthy and confusing.

I absolutely blame some of my anxiety issues on the fact that my dad loved to "play pranks" on me where the joke was that he startled or scared me and me being scared was funny

Growing up autistic in this family meant I could never be mad of getting made fun of, but if I tried doing it I was “taking it too far”

I’m forever grateful for a college professor pointing this out!! I grew up in it but could never quite put my finger on why I hated it. I thought I was just “too sensitive.” When she said this, at first I wanted to defend the mocking/sarcasm but instead I sat with it. Soooo glad I did! Forever grateful she called it out for what it was!!

If it causes them harm it's abuse ✌that's the different between having a joking silly relationship and being heckled with silent pseudo meanings

THIS! I was always told I’m “too sensitive” and “everyone in the family knows you’re just a crybaby”— like NO AMBER I just go to therapy and know how to communicate properly.

if the joke is about you, and you don't find it funny, it's just bullying

And when I called them out it was "well we do it to everyone else too!" yeah the difference is you stop when they call it out, but when I call it out I'm "too sensitive"

I didn't want a thick skin, I wanted a safe place. I never wanted my first bullies, I wanted acceptance from my family.
