See what I do is make fun of it myself so other people know it doesn't really bother me. I mean of course it bothers me, but I can joke about it you know? On an unrelated note, if they're you're close friends, they're probably just teasing you. My friends and I make fun of each other all the time. But if it's someone you don't really talk too (which for me is a lot of people) then that's fucked up.
