How do you deal with friends that make you feel dumb every time you say something?

Hey lovely! Thank you so much for reaching out  

I’m really sorry you’ve been feeling like this. Having friends who make you feel dumb whenever you speak can honestly knock your confidence so much, especially when it keeps happening. You deserve to be around people who make you feel comfortable, listened to, and safe to be yourself around, not judged or embarrassed for simply talking. Sometimes people don’t realise how much their jokes or comments can actually hurt, so it’s okay to speak up or set boundaries if you need to. And please remember, the way people treat you does not define your intelligence or your worth at all. The right people will never make you feel small for being yourself xx
