Your friend probably thought it was funny to upset you a bit, probably oblivious to the fact how much it does hurt your feelings. My friends used to do this to me (it was A LOT worse in terms of being PC, but my friends and I have a tendency to be rather non PC with each other anyway) and I understand it was all in good fun, but after awhile I just got tired of being the one being laughed at that it did begin to hurt my feelings that these certain jokes were the easy punchlines. I can understand how it made you feel uncomfortable.

Don't try to be too defensive if something like this comes up again. When you become defensive, your friend may see it as a signal to keep going. I've realized that people tend to not realize that not everyone is thick skinned nor that not every moment needs to be a "fun" opportunity at making our friends feel uncomfortable. Some people aren't good at being serious, so all they can do is try to make every situation light and funny when perhaps the person they are with aren't in the mood for "off color" jokes. Like, they don't get that some of us absorb this stuff. It's not easy to just shrug off that stuff. We're not always in the mood to giggle and joke around like that. When I'm feeling like shit, I'm not in the mood to be seen as a joke by my friends, does that make sense? They may not see it like that, and I need to be thoughtful that they are oblivious to it.

I agree with everything you said except the "all in good fun" part. There's nothing good about that kind of "fun".
