I have many acquaintances who'm i see daily,and once in awhile they'll rib on me or joke around about something just for the hell of it.I know these people don't mean bad,but is it natural for someone you know to joke around withyou or do some harmless ribbing once in awhile?Why do i take every harmless joke that someone means as an insult.The people who have harmlessly joked about something with me said they meant nothing by it and it's always in good fun to lighten things up.

I suspect that you may be afraid that the jokes they're making might have a grain of truth in them. Maybe you need to work on a few insecurity and self esteem issues? It's normal for friends to poke fun at each other, as long as it's never meant to harm. If you're worried that they're right, maybe you should examine the parts of yourself that you don't like, and work on improving your self image. It might also help if you poke fun back at your buddies. They won't mess with you so much if you show them you have a backbone.

If I knew the answer I would be a psychiatrist and make plenty of money helping people who somehow get elected to politics.

You could be insecure. Or they could be insulting jokes. Since I don't know the content of the jokes or the context, there is no way to tell. I wish you luck either way.
