So this guy knows me since my childhood. I'll admit it, I was stupid asf at that time. I really admired this guy and everything he said to me, I took it as criticism to improve upon. But now I just feel like he's just making fun of me. How the hell do I stop this?
This is not the end of the story, I feel so weak in front of the people who know me personally. Whenever they make fun of me, I can't do anything else other than just smile.
It's gotten to a point where I hate to see my stupid smiley face in the mirror.

Avoid him. He doesn’t benefits you anymore even he is your childhood friend.

What about others, the people that are close to me? I can't avoid everyone. I feel so introverted with them.

Guys that are close to each other always give each other shit. Idk me and my close friends make fun of each other all the time with banter and shit

Giving you crap? Give it back in kind. If it's all in good fun then everybody has a laugh. If you're just supposed to take it without dishing it out, those people aren't your friends. Make sure you're doing it in a joking manner rather than a butt-hurt manner, obviously.

Stop admiring guys and looking up to to them. That’s your problem

The problem is that you acted like a beta and now you are being treated as such. Stand up for yourself, if he's a good guy he'll respect that and if he isn't then find better friends.
Remember you are the average of the 5 people you spend most of your time with, make sure they are good people

Go to the gym and lift weights. People do not make fun of big, strong men.

Two of my best bros are twice my size and could crush me like an empty beer can. I bust their balls mercilessly.
Once I was talking to someone and I said, "This is Tony. He's six feet and two inches. Those are two measurements."
Even he laughed at that.

There's a difference between what you're doing and disrespecting another man. Disrespect your buddy enough and you'll regret it.

It's all in good fun. You should hear what he says to me.
