Am i being too sensitive?

I had this friend at school when I was first starting out, they were a junior so I thought it was cool that they wanted to talk to me. They said I was sweet and that they wanted to be friends with me, they gave me their Instagram and discord and we talked some on there.


We had a lot in common but when we'd go to lunch they'd kinda change the subject and talk negatively about trans people or politics or smth. I didn't really know how to respond so I kinda didn't, it made me feel a little uncomfortable because why do you care so much if it doesn'taffect you.


I could be misinterpreting things but they'd make these jokes that made me uncomfortable. Like I usually wear jeans and a sweater or shirt to school and sometimes when you sit in jeans they fold up ya know? The first time they asked me if I was "excited" and I said "wdym" then they pointed at the folded up part and said "your jeenis".


I didn't really know how to respond, I didn't wanna seem rude so I just said "oh". They did that usually whenever I sat down and they could see my legs, I'm just not too sure if I'm over thinking humor here though. They also asked if I was "special" once and when I asked what they meant they pretended to not have said that.


Maybe I just wasn't mature enough or smth to understand

You're not being sensitive. This person kind of sounds like someone who enjoys teasing / making fun of others and that doesn't sound like quite your humor. Them asking if you're "special" and then pretending they didn't ask sounds hurtful on its own. Even if you guys share common interests, they shouldn't be allowed to constantly make you uncomfortable. I hope you're either able to sort this out with them, or find peers who don't make you uneasy.

Sense they were a little older they've probably graduated already. I think they were a junior but I stopped talking to them online because they left school. I felt bad because we genuinely had good conversations and they were my first ever actual friend. I thought maybe I just wasn't mature enough and being too sensitive. I don't think I'll be seeing them anymore but I feel like a bad friend
