Well I have this little problem. I cannot take a joke for the life of me. Not sure y, I just can't. Example: My friend thought it would be funny to have one of her friends get on aim and mess with me. Act like a stalker, stuff like that. After I found out it was all a joke, I FLIPPED. I'm not sure y, just I mean, I just thought I acted ike a naive idiot during the convo I had, and even now, it keeps getting brought up, like her friend decided to post it online one time w/o telling me, and I mean i dunno, I just flipped out and made her take it down. I know I weirded out ALOT of people with my behavior over the whole issue, I look back at the conversations I had with people, during the joke and after, I just can't figure out y i acted that way. I still act a bit bitter about it when it gets brought up. The reason I'm asking this now is, my girlfriend told me awhile ago she was going to play a joke on me(dont ask me y she chose to inform me) and knowing how I react to these things I know something bad will come of it. I didn't want to say anything cuz she might just think I'm really weird or something, but idk. Should I tell her about my problem or should I just try and get over it on my own?

Can't take a joke

I don't think that sort of thing is funny either. You could tell your girlfriend that you find practical jokes offensive - many people do, it's not something to be ashamed of.

Im sorry but that isn't funny in the slightest, you can probably take a joke hon, but that wasn't one. Your friend was incredibly childish and nasty to do that, how would she feel if you or one of her friends had done that to her!

tell her to ease it up a bit, and all of us do things that we regret or didn't know for what reason.
