Is it a sign of jealousy?

[katiesmuff]

Yes they can, whether you listen to it or just let it pass through your ears is about the only choice.

I guess they can. Nasty people do all sorts of things.

One straight punch in the mouth, knee in the balls or stamp on a foot will change their attitude.

The reason doesn't matter. Just walk away.

Yes, jealous people absolutely can do that. Public insults and calling you ugly on repeat is classic projection and emotional abuse, not “jokes.” It’s a massive red flag, low self-esteem wrapped in aggression. Their goal is control, humiliation, and breaking your confidence.

You’re not the problem. Their behavior is.

It’s a sign that person is an insecure bully that you need to stay away from.

No, because I would be gone.

Yes, but you can punch them in the face.

Yes! It's happened to me quite often!
