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?

Yeah, people I'm close to, I will tease them and they'll tease me back. It's a way I show affection because I wasn't trained properly :-P

I try to stay away from doing it to people when we're not close or I'm not sure how they are going to take it - in those situations it could be a way of asserting yourself over someone, maybe trying to use their insecurities against them
