At work, colleagues always play jokes and "expose the shortcomings". Is this a challenge?

Not necessarily, it depends on the specific situation.

You have been in contact with your colleague for a long time, and I believe you will know something about him. If this is a serious person who never reveals other people's shortcomings easily, or always treats you with special respect and takes you personally when joking, then in this case, either he doesn't care about your feelings at all, or he doesn't like you very much. I think it is usually because you have no place in his heart that this situation is caused.

If so, you can understand that he is challenging you, at least on your own side. For him, maybe you are not even qualified to be challenged by him. Under normal circumstances, people will be more presumptuous only when they face people who are not a threat to themselves.

But if you are a kind person at ordinary times, that is, a kind person, then chatting and joking between colleagues at ordinary times is actually nothing. If so, your own heart may not be very cool, but at least the side you show when others see you will make people feel that you don't care about these little things, just like occasionally laughing at yourself and joking, don't take it seriously.

However, if you still have some blood in your heart, you can't make all kinds of jokes blindly. When it comes to your own bottom line, you must not tolerate it. Of course, I don't mean that you will be angry when others say your shortcomings, so you may be happy, but after all, you are all colleagues, so it will affect your social circle, but you must show something, or it will take a long time.

As the saying goes, "People humiliate themselves first, then others". If you usually make people feel that you look down on yourself, then others will naturally not be polite to you. In that case, it is no wonder that others.

But you can ask such a question, I believe you are still unwilling, at least not the kind of person who gives up on himself. In this way, you don't have to worry about whether others will give you an afternoon. Give yourself an afternoon first! You already know your shortcomings, don't you want to fill this place?

It may be difficult. After all, a leopard cannot change his spots. I understand and feel the same way. But if you are deeply aware of this and don't want to be laughed at by others all the time, then cheer up and try to overcome your shortcomings and show them to yourself and others!

I believe that if you can often expose yourself to others and make jokes short, that person will naturally shut up and dare not underestimate you any more!
