Hey guys i have some questions about the way i deal with my friends. Actually i go to gym and have few friends. We are quite friendly and we talk about almost every topic.One of my friend always teases me and cracks jokes but i dont know why i cant just reply back.I become nervous and get cant think of replies.And when i come back home,i just analize each and every sentences talked between us and feel that my friend will think that i am not smart enough because i cant reply to his jokes and this will provoke him and he will crack more jokes on me and in front of other people and i will get disrespected.so i have found a solution that whenever i will make new friends i will not crack non veg jokes with him and maintain a limit.but i want to ask you guys what kind of conversation should i have with him so that the conversation should contain humor but not disrespectful to me.thanks
