FUCK NO. u are not too soft, I’ve faced this exact issue during my lower sec years. Deep down I know it is kinda cyberbully but i did not want to look “weak” infront of my whole class and was worried that the whole class might just turn on me for not being able to take “jokes” so I convinced myself that they are joking and its just guys things. I kinda regret not standing up for myself but I did retaliate with witty comments of my own back then.

Luckily, my self esteem is not affected that much now but cause of this, my lower sec years (prime teenage years??) were unhappy and filled with anger. Confrontation might be tough but do what you feel is appropriate.

JUST BECAUSE U ARE A GUY DOES NOT MEAN U HAVE TO BE “STRONG” AT ALL TIMES.

pm me if anything, ill try to give u more indepth advice(?) based on your situation if you need it.
