I am not the type of guy who makes the group laugh etc., but I also dont like it when I become the joke. Today a couple of guys were making fun of each other-infact only one guy was throwing insults at almost everyone in the group and then a couple of guys joined in and made fun of me even though I stayed quiet and laughed it off. When I told them to stop I just made it worse. There were 3 people and all three of them knew each other and even after my repeated counter banter i was made fun of. And this felt like disrespect.

I dont like going below a certain line and today they did; joked on my family etc.,. I didnt know how to react and my frame was broken. I wasnt in the mood for it and was quite tired after a long day. And I didnt say much because I knew it might come all upon me and I would be made fun of further.

What would be your best advice to deal with this? Go to the guy who insulted me and confront him or just never sit with that group again?
