I been a victim of this for a while now, but been tryin' to pass it off as my own weaknesses and shortcomings; until recently.
At some point it clicked in my head that... just because someone tells you you need to 'learn to take a joke,' doesn't mean that's really the situation. Humor, I've learned, is very objective.
Yet, this problem has led me to problems sleeping, slightly high blood pressure, and an elevated heart rate. Does anyone have a similar experience, and how do you know when the teasing is no longer with you, but at you?
