Why do my coworkers only want to joke about me and talk about me?

[Anonymous]

Im a female and i work retail and i have a lot of guys working around me and we get on ok and im cordial and nice. But they always want to joke about me never themselves when i am talking to them. Sometimes we have normal convos but often its like teasing or whatever and i put up with it cuz i wanna have a cordial work environment and i know theyre just immature and can't have an adult normal conversation.

Anyway, i find it weird the topics they always bring up to me are about me. Like, talk about yourself.

Its also worth mentioning that a lot of these guys used to seriously harass me by picking on me in groups too. Even others had saw one or more of them railing on me (they would say its joking not serious but we all know its not a joke to pick on the weaker sex especially me who doesn't even fight back or say mean things back. Im very nice and sweet.).

They might be socially inept and think that they are flirting with you

They probably like you and they find you funny

Oh... Yeah I don't know why im so funny in their eyes. It gets boring sometimes. I dont want attention on me 24/7.

[Iron_Man]

Well at least you’re popular appreciate it

[Asker]

Well maybe i could see that way, thanks

[Iron_Man]

You’re very welcome

Because they think they can get away with it

[CalmYourTits]

Because you don't set things straight.

How would u do it?

I have an extremely sharp tongue. I am not sure what is being said about you, but I typically tell people hurtful truths.

For instance, my client was late for her appointment. Not once, but a couple of times, so she said to me, "You really should send a reminders" (to make it like it's my fault), and I replied, "but would a reminder help you wake up on time?" It wasn't rude, but it was hurtful because it was true.

Your tone has to be confident. That idgaf tone without being rude.
