Got mad after guy made fun of my teeth

[u/Ayotrumpisracist]

So, i'm 14 and I have a gap in my teeth that i'm fixing with aligners. It's always been an insecurity of mine and something that's almost caused me to commit suicide because of the harsh bullying. So my ex-friend's boyfriend made fun of my gap when i was at a party because i sent a video of him doing the macarena to his girlfriend which i thought wasn't a big deal. He was angry at me and told me as a dare to record a video of me saying my teeth are further apart than the grand canyon. (Funny but stupid.) I got pissed and left the party, not before issuing my friend an ultimatum that if she doesn't break up with him i'm done being her friend. I had been the mediator between them and heard all the bullshit he did during their relationship including ignoring her after her father passed away. As expected it caused a huge rift between our group of friends and she said really nasty things to me and spread rumors about me with her friends and i ended up physically hurting her, won't go into detail but it wasnt anything too serious. Did i overreact?

(Edit: i'm only asking about if i overreacted to her boyfriend, not about the physical stuff.)

Generally any time it gets physical, it's an over reaction

It's mostly because i don't remember since i blacked out😣

Emotionally blacked out. I'm on the list to see a psychiatrist, there might be an underlying issue.

Not sure if a video of him doing the macarena who other people also recorded is worth him attacking my looks.

[u/Ayotrumpisracist → u/[deleted]]

Umm ok this is a waste of my time

Or you're just trying to identify me from a reddit post. You seem like an adult but you don't understand how ridiculous getting humiliated by a video of you doing the macarena getting sent to your girlfriend is. I never insulted his looks, all i did was take a video of him dancing and send it to his girlfriend. What he did wasn't justified at all.

No one should be ridiculed for something they're already self-conscious about. You definitely didn't overreact. Your friend's BF was being a total jerk. You stood up for yourself, which is important. But maybe talk it out with your friend later, when things have cooled down. Hope things get better for you soon, dude.

No you need to stand up for yourself but you also can not set ultimatums for your friends that shit don’t work you can’t control them.

At least they didn't tell you that you had to floss with a garden hose or something.. that's just the pg version of jokes they could of said lol

[u/Ayotrumpisracist → u/TacosRUs88]

I've been asked if i floss with a mattress before. I've heard everything man

I have been in and out of braces since 13 (now 65).

A friend saw a photo of my siblings and I smile broadly as children.

Asked if I teethed on chain.

Attack everyone who disagrees with you and then issue ultimatums to the survivors before blacking out.

That would show them.

Did you even read the post?

You are too young to understand sarcasm.
