For my 28th birthday I held a roast…of myself. 
I called each of my closest friends ahead of time and asked them to prepare.
I told them not to hold back, to be as brutally honest (and mean) as possible.
In fact there were certain friends I didn’t call as I knew they wouldn’t be mean enough.
Then I gathered all my friends and had each come up and roast me.
People said “are you crazy, why would you ever do that!?”
I’ve never felt more loved.
There was a recent study that showed contrary to popular belief, friends who playfully insult each other, as long as in jest and fun, are exponentially more loyal and honest.
Ultimately, when friends tease us, it’s demonstrating they know us quite well.
Would you sign up to be roasted for your birthday?
