Do you consider playfulness and teasing from someone as being friendly or flirty?

Ι have a hard time discerning that stuff when they happen to me. Teasing is a thin line.
When such things happen to others around me I mostly discern it as flirting, but when such things happen to me I translate it as friendly.

It can be either. Some people are naturally playful or even naturally flirty. I play and tease sometimes but it doesn't mean I want that person or that I'm attracted to them. It's just fun to be silly like that sometimes.

Depends… people have different ways of showing their interest or being friendly so you gotta see the other signs before you misinterpret their actions.

I don’t take “ teasing “ lightly. Cause I have severe low-self-esteem and paranoia. I have anxiety and “avoidant personality disorder”.
I will immediately take any “teasing” as bullying and harassment. UNLESS, I know that person very very well.
This is why any man that’s used teasing as his first impression on me. I didn’t give them any sort of chance, cause I thought it was all bullying and harassment. I thought they were belittling me. I thought they were degrading me.
Depends. I did something way too obvious for it to be friendly. I did a trick with a girl. "I know how to make someone blush" to which I then I gently put my thumb and pointer under her chin and gently pushed her chin up to meet my gaze. As expected she was blushing, but so did I. My plan was to say something but her gaze completely made my brain stop working for a moment until I let go of her. So that's obvious flirting. But still if she never knows what flirting is it could be seen different by her.

Sometimes it is sometimes it isn’t.
Sometimes we can tell sometimes we cannot.
That said here is some completely free advice take it or leave it.
Sometimes when you’re flirting with a guy or dropping hints, he seems like he doesn’t know and that he’s not catching on, but he actually is and he’s not saying anything because he isn’t, but because he doesn’t trust his own judgment. -
friendly and flirty are for me close words... being flirty doesn't mean interested in relationship or sex, just being flirty.

More in the mind / actions of the recipient needs context. I think it's both depending on context but I'm kinda an outlier - I think someone flirting with my SO and/or her flirting back is fine. It's nice to feel desirable for her and it's feedback for me that others think as I do that she is desirable. I / we are just not jealous people. It's a strange, troublesome emotion tbh.

Well I guess these are natural instincts, Playdulness and teasing comes out of love and if that's the case then its a good one. Sometimes thses might lead to ynwanted experiences.

Whennis a "play" a silly fun play, then that's all it is, when is teasing that is like "button pushing", and if you push the "wrong/right" ones, then you can see the "outcome" for yourself. 🤷♂️😅

I usually take it as friendly because I don't tease people I like all that much.
-
I just can't understand why people tease who they like ; I only tease my enemies!

I don't waste my time on thinking about the intentions of men. I assume they only want one thing anyway.

usualy teasing is flirting. it depends on body language. if playful teasing, more than friends.

I haven’t the foggiest. I’ve been targeted by a lot of fakers so it’s not really worth trying to figure it out.

@tinkerelle_36 I consider playfulness & teasing from someone as a frivolous person. A person who's playful & enjoys teasing is incompatible with my reserved & serious nature.
-
Playfulness and teasing can definitely be flirty but it can also be very dickish. It really depends.
-
Heavily depends on the context and prior established relationship/both of our relationship status
-
As always. If they are attractive it's flirty. If not it's creepy
-
It can be both

Could be both need other signals to be sure.
