No it is obviously not. You do not need people who puts you down. It is better to stand alone than with people who insults you.

People who are close to us tend to take out their anger and frustration on us, but they only do that because I trust that person to never leave them. In some cases however they are actually being mean just to be mean. It's either that or they don't realize that they are being mean, if that's the case tell them because a relation gets no where without communication.

It is not normal. it is okay if what they are doing is constructive criticism but if they insult you just for fun then better confront them in what you feel. Sometimes people insult others to feel superior.

No! Your friends aren't truly your friends if they are always insulting you. Of course every once in a while you will have fights. That is completely normal, but your friends should never ever make you feel bad or worthless. Trust me there is much better people out there

No its not normal, friends don't insult, friends should make you feel comfortable and safe. They are not your friends if they don't do that.

Usually, friends insult each other in a friendly way. However, if you don't like it or feel like that bothers you, just tell them you don't appreciate that. They're your friends, they will understand. If they mean it with menace, then you should talk to them about it and maybe, distance yourself from them for a while.

Firstly let's analyse the sentence. This is a form of emotional reasoning, so therefore is unlikely to be completely true. It is likely that they are teasing you, and if you have low self-esteem then you may be too self-conscious for their expectations. However if they genuinely are insulting you (the test is, would you want your parents to be witnessing it), then no it is not acceptable for them to be doing that, and the best thing is to end your friendships with them.

Friends sometimes trade "barbs" with each other as a form of social bonding. Take into consideration the tone, intent and frequency. If it is constant, only directed at you, and seems to have a malicious intent, then no, it is not normal and they are not good friends. If it is casual jokes dispersed among the group then they are probably not singling you out.

Real friends wont insult you. if you are in a long friendship with someone and you joke about each other then thats different but if they flat out insult you, then you need to tell them how you feel. thats what friendship is all about.

In short, no. Friends shouldn't insult you. If they are good friends they wouldn't want to make you feel bad. However, if they are joking, they might not actually mean you any harm. Even with joking, there comes a time when the joking insults have become too much. If you are concerned about this, try talking to one of them about it. Ask them if they mean any harm to you or if they're just joking around. Tell them how it makes you feel. I hope this helps (:
