How do you take personal jokes?

Jokes are meant for people to laugh but sometimes, there are people who would want to make fun of us and tell jokes about us specially on our looks. If people will make such jokes about you, how would you react to that?

I don't really have friends whom love to attack verbally and giving out idiotic personal jokes' comments, so I don't have this kind of experience. But I do know of some people hurling insensitive comments and I just think it's rude. If someone were to be very rude in that sense to me, I would tell him or her off straight away.

Joke I know sometimes be too personal to other person and we must keep in mind to tell jokes to a right person... well if I get offended and the joke maybe too personal for me, something I,ve learned in psychology a person offended must tell that person his real feeling by stating "I" like "I am offended by what you've said" or "I really don't like what you told me" by stating "I" your using therapeutically yourself and your being realistic towards the person and thats a way to handle anxiety or irritability towards a person... Hope this may help...

Dear friend, For me some jokes are just to laugh and some jokes if they are better to be appreciated and if some jokes make me hurt I hope it would be bitter. I would say a serious joke back if possible otherwise I would sit their and start laughing without ending and until they all stop me. Those jokes still now on me much better ones. I like them all.
