I have been thinking about teasing lately. I hate to be teased and am very sensitive to teasing. I know this came from my childhood because my mother teased me. She thought she was making me strong but really she made me weak. My husband on the other hand, was also teased (by his father mostly) and teasing doesn't bother him. Why?
Is it because we are two different people and therefore take things differently? Is is because the intention and tone of the teasing was different between my mother and his father? Or is my husband simply able to pretend that teasing doesn't bother him?
Any why, when I hate to be teased, do I find myself teasing others? To make matter worse, I think I tease people more when they seem weak. Am I some kind of bully?
As you can tell, I don't really have answers but I am pondering.
