: ...only a matter of time before they don't have to worry about feeling self-conscious about it and resentful towards you anymore. Because they will remove you from their equations.
That said, prior to their departure and perhaps even early on, they will rib you whenever you get openly flustered, anxious, or stressed over something, however briefly, and/or they will be jokingly sarcastic (see: Schrodinger's Asshole) if you don't get much riled like they do over things.
: And before anyone says I need to meet better people, ask yourself how one goes about doing that. How do you know how people will behave in future before you meet them? Where do you go to meet all the "better people"? Are they somehow Certified Better People? Is it on their LinkedIn profile? Do they have a special license plate on their cars? Do they wear a certain pin or insignia? Please, do tell.
