If a good friend jokingly tells you something like "you should listen to me cuz im older and can walk straight (or upright)would you be mad and hurt? I definately am but not sure if i have a right to be on one hand he was joking but on the other friends dont say that and it really wasn't funny part of me wants to be like hey ya know...that hurt but the other part says chill he was joking...what would you do or say?

It says somewhere in proverbs "beware of the neighbor who says 'I was only joking' " or something like that:heart:

I would simply tell them that it hurt your feelings but I don't feel it's much to get mad over. If he's a "friend" he will understand and apologize and probably say he was joking but the best bet would be to let him know....bigsmile

Maybe your friend is sort of down on himself, I mean, the only edge he thinks he has is he can walk stright and he's older???

Yeah, I guess that might be a hurtful thing to say, but people don't know unless you tell them. Some people are just dufusses that way. The important thing is that it doesn't sound like the intention was to hurt you.
