Do you accept being teased?

I accept being teased especially if they're just about nonsense things and fake stuff. Well, if someone's feelings are already affected by it, it would mean a different thing already. It would be bullying. If that happens to me, I would go straight to the bullies and talk to them right away.

I accept the ups and downs of friendship and as long as it's not bullying I can take in some teasing. Sometimes someone can hurt you and it's not on purpose and I do feel it's important to let these people know you do not appreciate them saying certain things to you, you have the right to do that as long as it's in a respectfull manner. I try not to get angry as it doesn't solve anything and blinds us from seeing the trueth.

I am alert to these, and will clearly maintain a line of demarcation between teasing and bullying.. Teasing between friends is okay.. and bullying .. i react vehemently. haha.

I try to be okay with most teasing. I like to be sarcastic and joke around with friends. People have certain things they don't like to joke about. I try to respect that and communicate the same about myself. There is always a line to be crossed and some things that you never make fun of unless you are 100% certain the person is okay with it. THis is especially important for workplace. You don't want to accidently sexually harass someone. It really depends on the person and their intent. Honestly though I tend to be a bit more on the sensitive side.

I cann't accept being teased,I think.it will make my amour-propre be harmed,and let me feel not be respected by others.that's not comfortable in my opinion. If someone have teased me,I will feel angry about them,and give them my cold shouder,until they say sorry to me.then maybe I will forgive them. I think there is something we should comply between frinds such as personal dignity,our friendship should be built on them.

hi, dianagnes! occational tease is acceptable to me. and i do think it can make the relationship stronger, especially when we are all free. but if i am very busy and others tease me always, then it will definitely make me unhappy. also i do not want to be the aim of being teased everyday.

That depends on the situation. Usually I don't take these teases in a negative way. I enjoy with them too. But when you say teasing daily, it is something unacceptable. Why are they teasing? That matters most. When my friends tease me about my physical stature, I will not allow them to proceed. I will ask them to put a full stop to it. Keeping quiet in this matter will make them feel that we accept it. But when they tease about my behaviour or about any job done by me, I will look about it again. If what they say is true an valid, I will try to change myself. Otherwise I will take it in a lighter way. But I think teasing daily will just result in misunderstandings and sometimes may even lead to the break in the relationship.

That would really depend on how far the tease goes. In a friendship, there are always things that we may or may not like about it. And teases are just one of them. Some times the tease is to make light of a situation. Then so be it. Brush it off, laugh about it together and let it pass. But if the tease escalates into an insult, then it has to be handled in an amicable way so that the friendship is not ruin due to this one incident. I am sure we tease our friends some times too. If they can take your teases, you should be able to do likewise.

i am normally a person who 'fights back'... especially if i feel that they are 'teasing + bullying' me.. really trying to annoy me.. but if i can see that they are just 'teasing playfully'.. i just laugh with them.. or 'playfully agree with them'... and tease them back.. but if i do know that these people are 'mean' and purposely tease others to make themselves look better.. i would fight back.. maybe even 'meaner'...

There's a difference between friendly teasing and cruel bullying. If my friends/colleagues tease me out of fun, I think it's okay - but if it's harassment or bullying, I'd tell them off. Else they'd continue, thinking it's funny!

We must accept being teased..because if we tell them we are unhappy,they wont change.And if we dont accept,we are going to live with their nonsense for the rest of our life..its not worth it.
