For some reason I just can't garner respect from the people around me and I need help figuring out why. No matter what I try, whether it's being more assertive or using the correct body language, I still seem to be the object of ridicule, bullying, and harrassment by my family and coworkers. I'm still in the process of trying to build my frame, Ill be joining a gym very soon, however as it stands I'm still pretty skinny/lanky and I feel like this could possibly make me a target.

I've had family, friends, and coworkers give me dirty looks, snide comments, and laugh at me in a degrading and mocking way out of nowhere. I've been in situations where I'm actually just minding my own business or working and all of a sudden someone I know (especially amongst family members) will randomly give me a dirty look or just laugh at me in a degrading tone for no reason. I'm not exactly someone who stands out that much, I dress like most young adults my age (I'm 25) and mostly mind my own damn business by keeping busy (video games, books, YouTube, music). Regardless of how hard I try to be assertive or at the very least, someone who people show at least basic respect to, I can't stop the constant harrassment, bullying, laughing, etc that gets thrown my way on a daily basis. I'm going to assume it's my behavior, Ive been told several times that I'm too nice, weird, lame, etc.

As far as being "too nice", I think thats a carryover from my childhood as I was raised by a religious mom who taught me to "love my enemies" (mind you she has told me I'm too nice as well, so she's a damn hypocrite). I'm Agnostic and don't buy any of that anymore but I guess the behavior stuck with me. Again, I dress, behave, and present myself like most average people in their mid 20's do. What the hell am I doing wrong that makes me such a strong target for disrespectful behavior from everyone. Tbh its been going on for a long time and is starting to take a toll on my mental health. It's causing me to just want to give up on my goals, future plans, RP, and just life overall. At times I want to fight through it and at other times I want to give up, leave everything behind, and go live in isolation somewhere.

What's the problem. Am I too nice? Too skinny? Too anyone whose been through this or something similar, what did you do that changed your situation for the better? What is the most RP solution to this problem?
