Need to vent…. So a year ago when I joined my new job I swore I would keep to myself. All I wanted was to mind my own business and work. I noticed people were full of drama. Still I ignored it. As time passed, people became friendly and would talk to me nice. Not to mention they were a bit funny which was a way good to relieve stress from an already stressful job. It got to the point were we started hanging out outside of work… have a few drinks… then go home. Nothing came out of it but recently the two coworkers I would hang out with became a little rude. Starting to joke in a demeaning way such as referring to me as “pendej@“ (asshole in Spanish) and turd and calling me “mensa” (stupid) at first it would catch me off guard but as they continued it began to bother me. Like why behave like immature kids. I eventually had a talk with one of them and told him to stop with the name calling because other people began to notice. He stopped but not the other one. Another coworker would even say their words were disrespectful and sounded mean regardless of them joking. I agreed with her because it also bothered me. Well today was the last straw I was talking to a coworker and the two guys come and one of them begins to poke and when I talked back he said “yea yea I saw your workout posts on instagram like a butch lesbian “ (because I lift). That was so rude. I got so mad and it upset me that he did it on front of everyone else. I think they got uncomfortable. So I went up to my supervisor and cried my eyes out and told her the situation. They told me it was wrong and would be brought up with management and HR. I honestly just wanted for them to have a word with this coworker. Well when he found it bothered me he called me to his office and said I should’ve brought it up to him and that we have that trust to tell each other but tbh at the time it didn’t feel like that as they knew

Or he knew their demeaning words had been bothering me. Idk The anxiety in me needs to let it go but now I feel awkward 😣
