How can I respond when someone jokes that I look nervous?

[Anonymous]

Not going to get into details but someone made a joke suggesting i look very nervous because i had a few questions. It was a group setting and kind of uncalled for. For the sake of not withdrawing more attention i said something like “yeah, it is just my face you will get used to it”. What would you do?

Honestly I would give a pretty similar answer as yours.

Felt like they wanted some kind of reaction like “no im not” they also ignored some of my questions so rude

Yea people sometimes pick on us because they expect a reaction.

Just a group setting working on something. I asked the presenter some questions

They probably just thought you were nervous about doing the presentation. Nothing to worry about. You handled yourself very well. I am curious why you’re so evasive about the subject of your presentation though.

Oh i don’t want them to find me here. They would use it to corroborate their point if they see it somehow

Also they are guys, the girl was always respectful not engaging this kind of behaviour

I think you might be being kind of paranoid, but good luck
