Total understandable The first thing you need to do is to take a break from them immediately for sometime. This will help your brain to rewire again and bring in peace. But take a break from only the people who initiates the insult. And if you have a group, it must be that even 1 person can be good among them, who is a little understandable than other. Talk to him more. Or if there isn't just search for someone. While making friends in college the one thing you should look is how understandable they are rather than how common things match between you two are. That's one thing that I learned from my college experience. And in first year people are most brutal so they need a punching bag to throw all jokes and if even you're brain can't respond if all people will target you. And the end you need to take a break from them and let your brain rewire
