Why are my guy friends so mean to me?

[Anonymous]

so i am in a group with about 7 guys and 2 girls including me. the problem with them though is they are so mean to me. they always say they are kidding like when i start becoming mad and stuff but they never say they kidding so i never really know. the other girl thats in the group is really pretty and they mess with her in a friend way kinda and never pick on her like they do to me. i read other stuff about they guy likes you but its seven guys and i know they dont like me like that. plus multiple guys in the group like my friend. so i dont know if they just geniually dont like me so they're mean, or if thats just how they are. they aren't mean to me all the time they are nice sometimes. so i am confused.. do they like me or hate me?

Okay, I am a girl but I act a lot like those guys in a group with close friends. I don't have a whole lot of experience with the whole friendship/relationship combo, but I wouldn't take anything they say with more than a grain of salt. If it bothers you enough that you get uncomfortable when you're hanging out with them, insult them back and see how they like it (you may find this to be your new favorite hobby), or tell them to calm it down sometimes with all the jokes. Don't compare how they act with you to how they act with her, because you aren't the same people.

This is a common situation, but the girls aren't usually THIS outnumbered. My friend group for a while was five guys and two girls, but I just came back at them with insults until they learned that they shouldn't mess with me unless they want me dancing around that 'line' that shouldn't be crossed.

They certainly don't hate you, just talk a little more seriously with one or two of them about how you feel about it and that should sort the situation out.

Have you ever watched a puppy try to figure out how to play?

They run into walls. They don't understand what is biting too hard until you yell "OW". They can't hold toys. They randomly fall over sideways. They're generally klutzes, and they don't really understand how anything works -- including their own instincts -- but they are adorable.

Thus it is with boys, when there are girls around.

They might like you. They might not. They might be thinking about Doritos.

Just have fun and don't overthink it.

Are they mean to each other in the same way? Or only you, specifically? I have some guy friends who act like that, they're rude and throw insults at me, but they do it to each other too and I do it right back at them, because we're all joking.
But if the guys don't do that to each other, then they're singling you out, and that's not good.

Well what kind of mean because I know a lot of my guy friends pick on me a lot too and I can tell they're joking so I don't get upset with it but is it just joking around or actual very hurtful stuff?

Tell them exactly what you told us. If they keep acting like pricks then get rid of them, there are billions of people on the planet, get new friends. Don't let them get to you. Know your own self worth honey. To hell with them.

They don't hate you. I am sure they are trying to make you jealous. It's how we are. I'm sure if you end up ignoring them for a bit, they'd come crawling to you feet.

Guys are like that with even other guys. It's a weird way they bond. Of course, they also being assh*les >o<

They see you as a bro, I mess with only the people I like and consider friends. They see the other girls as potential bangs.

If they hated you they would've probably done super mean things. How your describing it, I would think that's just how they are.

Why don't you get new friends?

I think that they see you as a friend only...
