I’ve always had a hard time growing up with what’s considered bullying, teasing, or what’s abuse. Mostly because the person that is doing this is my older brother. Well both my older brothers.
When I get my feelings hurt, people get mad at me because it’s a “joke” and call me dramatic.
But on a serious note what’s lines need to be drawn when it comes to telling the difference between teasing, bullying, or abuse.
I feel part of me not understanding is because I’m neurodivergent and just struggle with social stuff especially when it’s something negative.
Can someone help me?

I believe its -

  • When someone repeatedly makes fun of you, teases you, or anythig that makes you upset, sad, mad, or fearful even when they know it does. Usually targeted by words or actions, but not always. Sometimss it can be called a joke (but it makes you feel bad) by the person doing it, and sometimes its also done in a subtle way that can be very hard to prove and sometimes make you question if you have imagined it.
    Bullying can be abuse
    Teasing is when both parties are aware its teasing and are okay with it. If it makes someone uncomfortable then they usually apologize instead of getting mad at them for being uncomfortable ~ Aizawa

When someone bullies you

I can’t tell when it’s “bullying” because every time I think it is, someone tells me otherwise
But when I tell someone else the same thing they say it’s bullying

If it's happened several times on purpose then it could be bullying
