I guess so, I think it comes from not being respected due to my age or gender (or whatever else). You can do silly things with me, but I also want to be seen as a real person with feelings and such if that makes sense. I don't like being made fun of either, I just want to be respected.
I usually don't take things super seriously but I do take them very personally and can be a super emotional person, making jokes and using humour has always been a coping mechanism for me so I usually make jokes if I'm upset or uncomfortable haha
