The shitty thing is that you're already standing in a bad social standing. If you let other normie men ever, ever, look down on you and not respect you, they'll never respect you. The bullies are chest pumping on you. They're trying to establish the alpha pecking order, and unfortunately, by being a nice guy for so long, you let them betafy you so they can secure their statuses. They're not messing with you as a bro. They're messing with you and putting you down so they can use you as a stepping stone to up their own shitty social statuses. And now, you're in a cycle where they already labeled you as a beta to them. You need a big reset. If you can, stop hanging out with those bullies. Stop interacting with them and cut ties entirely if you can. If that isn't possible, watch the ufc video about the TUF season where rampage keeps making fun of a guy and keeps calling him tities. That's actually a very good example of what to do. A big ape gorilla nagger keeps pushing you around. You're a nice guy, so you just laugh it off, but it gets worse. Your social standing is going down because you're letting this gorilla nagger mess with you. But then, you finally stand up for yourself, and you make it known. You have to front back. Get up in your bullies faces and tell them that what they're doing is not cool, and that if they don't stop, there's going to be a problem. Beta bullies who bully for status will immediately stop. Alpha bullies like prison rapists won't. They want you to know your place. If your bullies are alpha bullies and not beta bullies, then just fight them. Escalate the situation and fight them. You're going to have to get into multiple fights with them until they finally get it in their nagger heads that you're not worth the trouble.
