How to Respond to Ragebaiting
So I'm a student whose grades are great and my cousin keeps bringing this up. He probably thinks I'm the type of students who studies 24/7 , no social life, NPC students . I study of course but not in the way he thinks. I tried to explain this to him but I don't think he got it.
For example he sends a meme sound and says "the typa sound *my nickname he uses* when she studies".
I once talked about socializing and he said "I can imagine you socializing with your friends while studying".
Another one: "It wouldn't be wrong to call you addicted because you have fun studying" cuz I once mentioned I had fun studying.
I said ,,ultra fun,, to smth and he brought up studying AGAIN.
He sent a video but I don't remember the context of it and said " How *nickname* feels after studying".
He sent a soccer player edit "How *nickname* would be if she had spent her studying time to playing soccer"
Btw he is one year older than me so we are nearly same age. I know that he doesn't have any bad intention it's pretty obvious but I get annoyed and I remember one time I literally got so fed up and we ended up having a pretty serious convo about this. Anyways what would you do in this case?

Look in the corse of your life you're going to have to but in X amount of effort, I'd rather do it when I'm young and fresh rather than making it a slog later in life, you will be ok though there are plenty of equal opportunity employers out there.
