It can be very frustrating and annoying when a guy makes fun of you over and over again. Worse still, when his friends join the “game” to make fun of you. He feels so uncomfortable because you’re in a place you don’t know how to get out of. This article aims to help solve your problem: How do I get him to stop making fun of me?…
The first thing you need to do to stop a guy from bothering you is to reflect on your own actions and behavior. Ask yourself how you react to a boy’s teasing: do you…
- Laugh and pretend it’s funny?
- Keep silent and not say a word?
- Get angry and yell at him?
The reason you need to be aware of your reactions is because your response to a guy’s teasing is really what is causing him to keep teasing you.
But how can this be? Aren’t you being childish?
Females are trained from a young age to know that our actions, words and behaviors affect others. But men are very different from women. For example, did you know that ‘teasing’ is a key way guys relate to each other? Try it yourself. Observe how the boys interact with each other. Notice what they say. You will soon discover that boys talk to boys very differently than girls talk to girls.
In fact, a big reason guys make fun of girls is because ‘teasing’ is a form of ‘boy talk’…
Usually, a guy can only speak “male language” (unless he has a lot of experience talking and spending time with girls/women). Therefore, when a guy makes fun of you, he is most likely communicating with you in the ‘only’ way he knows how. What he does next depends on how you react to teasing him…
3 Suggestions On How To Get A Guy To Stop Teasing You…
1. Don’t pretend it’s funny when it’s not. Boys are NOT mind readers. If you laugh at his jokes, your behavior tells him that his behavior is funny, nice, and amusing to you. Since guys like to hear girls laugh, it’s only natural that they continue to tease you. Just to hear you laugh.
2. Do something different. If your usual reaction to a guy’s teasing is to get angry and he still won’t stop, it’s time to CHANGE your reaction. Personally, I ignore rude comments and stare at the person speaking, or in another direction. Sometimes it is better not to say anything when there is nothing good to say.
3. Let him know that teasing hurts. Letting a guy know that teasing hurts is as simple as saying “Ouch. That hurts.” A decent guy will stop bothering you. If he doesn’t stop, even after you’ve said he hurts, it’s time to move on and hang out with guys and girls who care enough to stop doing what hurts other people’s feelings.
