I want guy friends so badly, and miss my former ones. But the bullying me till I cry and simultaneously putting moves on me-is something I can’t emotionally handle 😢

I'd say some do it more than others, but most do it.

I’m a trans dude and both before and after I came out, I can say that Not all guy friends are like this, I promise. Teasing is normal but bullying is absolutely not and they should not be trying to hit on you (though that does happen more often than not). I feel like your experiences may also be related to the types of guys you’re friends with and how they personally understand friendships and gender tbh

A lot of guy friends do tease each other though usually not to the point of tears. The hitting in your part, yeah that’s going to happen from time to time. Unless they all have gfs.

It’s weird cause I had never had guy friends prior to my former ones. I was literally so depressed because I thought they low key hated me with how much they were teasing me. but then they would give me flirty touches and occasionally say/do nice things. One of them had a crush on me and I thought he hated me the most out of all of them. I wish they could’ve balanced it out with some affectionate words, cause I literally left them thinking they all hated me. I don’t know for sure but ugh😩

I wish they could’ve throw in some reaurrance occasionally, like hey by the way I don’t hate you. But idk if they think to do that because they are so used to that dynamic with their friends. But idk maybe next time I communicate more if I come across this? But I feel like there’s not way for me to say this without sounding desperate/attention seeking. Like I’m just sensitive bro

I think it’s worth bringing up, they probably don’t realize the difference between this and how girls communicate, so if they really do care about you as a friend they’ll tone their banter down.
