so i was studying with my 3 girl friends today and we were laughing and joking around. anyway, i showed them a picture of my little brother and they were like aw hes so cute. Then one of the girls was like yeah theres no way thats your brother, and i was like haha why not and another girl was like oh because youre not cute.

Like I know reading this it might seem like they were "bullying" me but they really were just joking (we were all saying dumb stuff to each other)

I just can't get over this. I feel super insecure (even though I know they were joking).

I have two questions from this....

first off what would a response to something like that be (I just laughed)

and secondly how do I avoid being so butt hurt over a joke. I need to get over myself but I don't know how.
