btw if you are friends with someone and you have the kind of dynamic where you can tease each other you also need to be nice. just so we’re all aware. you also have to be nice with your words on top of it. like with your words. use your words. you should tell them with your words when you like something about them. if you are scared of being too sincere or vulnerable that is not an excuse to not be nice to someone. also you should work on that. ok are we all on the same page
You also need to be aware of how that trading affects those around you. If you have a young spawn around they will learn from and mimic your relationship dynamics but Also do not have the wisdom to judge wh e n is OK to behave in a teasing way. You could accidentally end up raining a bully.
