Teasing can still be hurtful. It isn't always funny to everyone, and just because you don't find this humiliating does not mean everyone is going to see it the same way, so don't dismiss how this made me feel. I find it humiliating. You don't. My feelings still matter. I don't care about what rank I am, I know I'm not good at this, but I am trying and in response he made fun of my attempt. It doesn't feel nice to be shamed in public. Why is that difficult to understand?
