Does anyone have any tips of not being the punching bag of the friend group. Im nd and below average in looks so im always the butt of the joke. I’ve tried switching friend groups and sticking up for myself more but no matter what I do people always seem to belittle me and treat me as less.

Genuinely dont understand how dudes will think its funny to make someone the “punching bag” in a friend group.

give them a reason to not see you as an easy target thats all you can do

Just leave the group, they do not care about you. There is no way to make them stop, they havw already made their judgements on you

Next time someone messes with you just start a fight and make sure u win, it will stop

What grade are you in
 
hate to be that guy but I bully the punching bag in my group
I'd advice you to kick back against insults and be lower inhib
One thing you can do is not respond at all but it'll take months for the bullies to stop if you're like this and the bullying will ramp up at first

Really sorry bro I’ve had the same experience too. I only really got out of it after losing a bunch of weight and having some facial development during high school.

if you visually dont care about their insults, they cant really make you the punching bad because theres no reaction
