I have these mates whom i’ve been friends for a long time, casual jabs would happen but I realize that when they come at me like “everyone don’t respond to you in our groupchats” “you always shoot the ball without passing” all that stuff which I find amusing but when I go back at them it seems they get mad and silent all the time and rarely go at me again. I just said that “there you are again with your rumors like a girl” “man stop talking you still look like a sumo wrestler” in a laughing way. some mates would laugh and the one I jab back to would not and just silent. Are these too much or what? I barely shit talk my mates and I don’t want to agree and amplify all the time, my SMV have grown a lot but also theirs a little, sometimes they would full on not respond to me when I talk to them normally is this sign of no respect or sensitivity?

acquaintances is another thing some throw a jab at me and I throw one back after that they would barely talk to me, silent response and all that shit. I am fucking struggling to find the thin line of it all.
