Here's the story...

I have two housemates, my cousin and my best friend from home.

My cousin has loads of friends and certainly gets lots of girls. My best friend realizes this and is a total 'lick ass'. My cousin has always been jealous of me being better at sport than him and is always putting me down even though I don't brag about it or ever put him down!

He'll come out with some smart comment like "Hey kev your a jerk off" and my best friend will back him up and they'll both have a big laugh. The comments they come out with are hugely immature and piss me off because it's intensifying lately.

How am I supposed to deal with this as I don't want to come across as over-serious.

Thanks!

Your reality = your beliefs + your thoughts + your perceptions + your emotions.

You asked how should you react. Don't react. Or you can smile at their stupid jokes.

How old are they btw? 17?

I have to return some videotapes...

They are both 19, what annoys me is that they're constantly at it so it's hard too keep laughing off their jokes because it's boring me. Also the fact I know its born out of jealousy and the fact my best mate is backing him up all the time because he's araid of my cousin who has a massive ego/social proof etc...

The more they see it effects you the more they will continue to do it..

Find the humor in it and laugh along with them. Crack a joke back or two.. If you can't beat em, join em.

Get a little cocky.. After his joke laugh and say something like " hey (Cuzzins name) wanna go play ( whatever the sport is). " Laugh and walk away. They'll stop

Or just kicks there asses lol kidding

lighten up dude.. You sound like a girl :p

the key is too laugh at it as much as they do and even make fun at yourself...that way they will see you couldn't care less and dont mind a little banter....by doing this you'll remove their "satisfaction" and they will stop ...

Be unreactive is the only proper advice to give. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

Making fun at yourself is a huge sign of weakness. The only person who is accepted to make fun of yourself is you and only on your terms. Ever seen James Bond or Hank Moody make fun of theirselfs? Nope.

You could always kill them?


Or just do what everyone else said.
