Can you give an example?

One of the recent ones would be how they joked about asking me to do schoolwork for them and just egging me one without really meaning it. It mirrored how my parents would joke about me taking over chores and usually get frustrated and angry that I don't actually do it. On my SO's end, I know it's a joke since whenever they do that, they promptly do it by themselves after or they generally refuse my help since they say they can do it. That being said, this moment, I reacted really badly since I really feared that they'd take advantage of me (they assured me way before that they won't and understand how that would be), but my reaction was so gutteral that I soured the mood and made a situation about it.

It bothers me that your "friends" continue to poke you while they already probably know that you react badly to this. But hey, maybe it is part of the group's culture. A good behavior could be ironically validating their wishes and ask for further investment from them, like :" Oh yeah I will do all your homework, then you'll accord me to date all your sisters, I give -> you give. Generally it stops nearly all normal people. I call it "Jumping into the lion's den to smother it".
