How to respond to jokes or being teased?

When people would tease me I would just awkwardly smile back. I don’t know what else to say back to it. I get when ppl are joking just idk how to respond.
What should I do then?

Why is Dead by Daylight so popular and how do I get good at it?

Some of my friends really enjoy the game and I hate it and think it's stupid and I never enjoy playing it but they do and they're freaking addicted to it and I want to get better at it so I can play with them so where do I start? Can I be free to play in it? I'm on PS5 if that is a factor.

I actually hate Working From Home (WFH) and I'm tired of pretending it's perfect

I know this is going to be unpopular on Reddit, where everyone seems to be a software engineer who loves staying in their pajamas, but I need to say it: WFH has destroyed my mental health.
When the pandemic started, I loved it. No commute, saving money on gas, cooking at home. It felt like freedom. But three years later, I feel like a prisoner in my own home. My living room is my office. My bedroom is my break room. There is no separation between "work life" and "home life." I wake up, sit at the computer, work until dark, and then stay in the same room to watch TV.
I miss the small human interactions. Saying good morning to the receptionist, grabbing coffee with a coworker, the decompreesion time during the drive home. I feel socially isolated and incredibly lonely.
Also, I feel like my career has stalled because I'm just a name on a screen, not a person in the room. Does anyone else feel like returning to the office (at least hybrid) would actually save their sanity, or am I just crazy?

Do you ever experience sonder?

I'll be walking along doing errands and just observe people going by and wonder to myself "I wonder who they are as people" or "I'm curious as to what they do for a living." Or if I'm not shopping, I'll be driving along the highway and glance over at the other cars going by, some of them from out of state and some not, thinking the same things. I find myself experiencing sonder quite frequently. Thoughts?

Anyone else feel way more productive at night than in the morning?

No matter how hard I try, I just can't really get going until the evening. My roommate goes to bed at around 5PM and is up at like 2-3AM, really get envious sometimes.

Should I lie on my resume about being in a leadership role in order to get a better, more comfortable and higher paying

So I currently have a primary job and a part time job. The schedules align perfectly so I don't have an issue with it. I also enjoy both jobs. However, for both jobs I'm sort of on the bottom of the totem pole, but with seniority for being there many years.
I don't have any experience in being in leadership. I've never been a supervisor. I've been wondering, if I were to look for another job primarily to find better pay in a supervisory position, would it be bad to put a fake previous employer as a supervisor? Or just say I have supervisory experience and not elaborate/make shit up? I've never lied on my resume before.
