I Don't Like to Be Teased
I got teased a lot when I was a child. Even my dad used to tease me frequently. Somehow people have this idea that if you get teased all the time that you develop a "tough skin". This never happened to me. I remember growing up just thinking that the more I got teased, that the less I was going to tolerate it when I got older.
Now this has become a huge personal problem of mine. I'm 30 and when people tease me a little bit from time to time I can handle it. However if you tease me too much I get angry and sometimes in the worst way possible. It can be a very explosive rage which has cost me a several relationships and even almost my job a few times. It's terrible.
I think now I sort of try to circumvent the problem by just not speaking but it is very difficult. I think writing this has helped me decide to go see a therapist about this.
