 A joke at my expense
I will do my best to explain this problem as it has me really stumped how I can fix this.
I am starting to notice some people making small jokes at my expense for the amusement of others, nothing huge just little comments now and then when others are around. These little jokes are over nothing in particular, it just feels like I have become an easy target recently and I’m not quite sure how this has happened.
This is not just a work related problem this is starting to happen in my living arrangement also.
I’m a pretty relaxed easy going person in appearance perhaps this may be a contributing factor.
Perhaps the problem has always been there but I am really only starting to pick up on this now.
What could it be with my personality that gives people the impression that I am an easy target? Now none of you know me or could make a judgement on my personality, but has anyone had a similar problem? Perhaps some advice on how to respond to this.
It’s not like I can isolate myself from these people as I work very closely with many of them.
In my opinion not to be taken seriously is a huge annoyance.  |
