[quote=Anonymous]Ok, let's do this "am I the a**hole" style. I really don't think I've done anything wrong, but you tell me.

I have a friend who is a little bit sensitive. I think it's just her personality, but also she's been having a bit of a tough time lately at work. I think she and her boyfriend might have some Covid-related strife, I don't know. Point is, she's a little on the sensitive time.

I'm a very jokey, irreverent person. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and like to joke around with my friends. I spend a lot of time around men and maybe that's why. Also, I have ADHD and sometimes struggle a bit with picking up on certain social signals.

Anyway, I tease this friend sometimes. Nothing serious, just lighthearted ribbing. She takes herself SO seriously. Sometimes if she's lamenting some job- or boyfriend-related drama, I'll crack a joke about it to lighten the mood. Or I'll snap a silly photo of her while we're all hanging out (socially distanced, of course, don't freak out) and post it to Instagram or Facebook with a funny caption. I just think it's all of us having a good time.

But she cannot take a joke. She gets mad at me every time, and will say things like "I don't think that's funny" or ask me to take down a photo I posted of her. I kind of roll my eyes at it, but she's getting really obnoxious about it. Honestly, I think I tease her more because she's so sensitive about it. I think she just needs to get over herself and lighten up.

So, what do you think? Am I the A**hole?[/quote]
