Is it normal for friends to purposely be mean to each other?

I kind of have a strange group of friends...We know each other very well and we all consider each other as our closest friends, but we constantly piss each other off. We always get into stupid fights/arguments and a lot of the times we're very negative towards each other. Sometimes we don't even act like we're friends. We rarely ever do or say nice things to each other. Sometimes, we can't even be serious and open up to one another. My friends would probably rip on me if I ever brought this up. That's another issue...Most of the time we can't even ask each other for help or have a serious conversation because we're afraid of being ripped on (being ripped on in our group doesn't mean that we just make fun of you for a bit. We actually say some pretty awful things and we don't drop it). Honestly, I really really dislike some of my friends sometimes and I know for a fact that they feel the same. Even though we constantly piss each other off, we do have/have had some pretty good times and we're most likely not going to stop being friends. At least not anytime soon. I just wished we weren't so F'ed up.

Is anyone else in the same situation? ( I would love to hear your story) or have any suggestions/tips about what I should do/how I could improve my friendship?

Thanks

    Same here man. But it's probably because of someone you let in the group (If you didnt all become friends at the same time). Me and my group of friends were real nice to each other until we let this other guy in. He drinks and smokes and stuff like that and he influenced the other guys. I left the group because I didnt want to do that stuff. I still see them fighting every day and end up drinking all night

    Well just try to be more open with your friends and set an example to not rag o. Your bros by saying that's enough to one who is ripping another a new one- apparently you know that these conditions of your friendships are not only bothering you. So I say stand up for your friend and quit ragging on your friends yourself - nothing wrong with the occasional push your buttons joke but remember you are all people and need to know that your bros are there for you when you need them or they need you
