Hey guys, here’s the situation. I’m a textbook introvert, and I mostly prefer staying in my own zone. I’m a pretty simple, naive guy—honestly, a bit slow when it comes to PCs and tech stuff (you could say I'm mid-retarded in that area), but I mind my own business.

The issue is, I have some absolute asshole friends who constantly make fun of me. Look, normal banter is fine, it happens in friendships. But these guys have the worst double standards. As long as they are roasting me, everything is fine and dandy. But the moment I fire back with just one single counter-joke, they lose their minds. Instead of taking it like a man, they will gang up and drag that one comeback of mine 10 times over just to pull me down again, or they'll get completely butt-hurt and claim I'm crossing the line.

To be completely honest, when they pull this crap, I get the urge to hit them back with insults so personal and brutal that it would completely wreck them. But just to keep the peace and save the friendship, I shut up and swallow it. I don’t even want to cut ties with them completely because at the end of the day, hanging out with them is the only social outlet I have.

Right now, my life is in a really rough phase:

No Job: I’m currently unemployed, sitting at home, and trying to figure out freelancing.

Family Drama: Because I’m home all day, I have to deal with constant nagging, taunts, and lecturing from my parents (you guys know the typical Indian family scene).

Zero Social/Romantic Life: There’s no girl in my life, and I can't seem to make new friends either because it’s so hard to build new connections at this age.

So, I’m basically stuck with the same old idiots and putting up with their bullshit just so I don’t end up completely isolated.

Is anyone else going through this exact same shitty phase? How do you deal with friends like this and handle this kind of stagnation?

TL;DR: I’m an introvert trying to start freelancing from home while dealing with constant family nagging. My friends love roasting me, but if I give them 1 comeback, they will stretch it 10 times just to override me and get butt-hurt. I can't cut them off because making new friends is hard and I don't want to be completely alone. Looking for people who relate or have advice.

Pata hai aaj kya hua , i mean ab tak yahi chalta arah hai....

Hey guys, im 22 y , M , scene kuch aisa hai ki standard introvert hoon, mostly apne zone mein rehta hoon. Thoda 'gau aadmi' type samajh lo, computer/tech tech cheezon mein thoda slow hoon (mid-retarded keh sakte ho visually, par dimaag chalta hai).

Mere circle mein kuch aise MC dost hain jo baith ke mera mazaak udate hain. Look, normal banter is fine, dosti mein hota hai. Par BC inka alag hi double standard chal raha hai. Jab tak ye mera udayen, tab tak sab thik hai. Par jab main ek counter-jawab de doon, to ye log itna personally le lete hain jaise maine inki kidney maang li ho! Roona shuru kar dete hain ki *"ye to bilkul uncalled for tha, tu personal ja raha hai."*

Bhai, sach bataoon to jab ye aisi harqat karte hain na, mann mein itne personal aur gande jawab aate hain ki lagta hai wahin inki maa-behen ek kar doon. Par dosti na toot jaye, isliye chup reh jata hoon. Mujhe dosti todni bhi nahi hai kyunki inke sath ghumna-firona thik thak ho jata hai. More like wo bhai 1 javab ke samne 10 baar udaye ge meri

Par life abhi ekdum kharab phase mein hai:

* **No Job:** Abhi unemployed hoon, ghar baith ke freelance set karne ka try kar raha hoon.

* **Family Drama:** Poora din ghar pe raho to wahi ghar walon ke taane aur chik-chik chalti rehti hai (you guys know the typical Indian family scene).

* **Zero Social/Love Life:** Na koi nayi ladki life mein hai, na naye dost banane ka scene set ho pa raha hai kyunki naye dost ab is age mein bante nahi jaldi.

Wahi purane chutiye doston ke beech fasa hoon aur unki bakchodi jhel raha hoon taaki bilkul akele na ho jaoon.

Anyone else who relates to this shitty phase? Kaise deal karte ho aise doston aur is phase se?

**TL;DR:** Introvert hoon, ghar se freelance try kar raha hoon aur ghar ke taane jhel raha hoon. Dost mera mazaak udate hain par jab main unka udaoon to gaand jal jaati hai unki. Dosti tod nahi sakta kyunki naye dost bante nahi aur akele rehna nahi hai. Need some relatability or advice.

Does anyone else deal with this or am I alone here?

So my friends/people around me will ask me to spell words - and I swear they already know I might struggle with it, but they ask anyway. When I can't answer or get it wrong, they make fun of me.

But here's the thing - when THEY don't know something, they just laugh it off casually or act like "oh well, only nerdy people would know that" or just brush it off like it's no big deal.

When I try to do the same thing (laugh it off or just say I don't know), they STILL make fun of me. It's like there's a double standard.

My confidence is already pretty low, and this doesn't help. Sometimes I genuinely don't know the answer, sometimes I do but second-guess myself because of the pressure.

Is this common? How do you guys handle situations like this? Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

People or friends asking spelling to spell like they know i dont know but my confidence is low , but i know sometimes i cannot answer it sometimes i genuinely don't know they make fun when their turn when they don't know they laugh at it or just like yah only you know i dont know nerdy type of thing or like they just laugh it or or be serious when i do same they make fun of me... is it common or am i alone..🙂 , guys what to do in this situation ? , how to handle it..?
