Are there people who u are comfortable with teasing you or poking fun or whatever u call it? Do you have to feel close to them for this to be acceptable? Can teasing be a form of subtle aggression and dominance?

I guess it can be, but teasing can also be a form of ... I dunno, affection? Fun? Healing? And in some cases gentle correction, at least/especially between parent and child. I noticed that friends tease each other a lot and laugh over it, but I don't really relate to it myself. I think it's only funny to be teased because people's egos are so inflated.
