Is it normal that I take this as in insult?

Don't put up with that! You deserve better than this guy. He seems like a real jerk. There's a difference between joking around, and actually verbally abusing someone and that's what this guy is doing to you. You have the right to have a relationship (any kind, friendship, significant other, etc) where you aren't being called names! You know what's good about this? You can change it and be happy. :) he isn't someone you even know irl, you can shut him off and move on..its going to be hard, but its possible. Think about you..you want to be happy..and this guy isn't making you happy because you went as far as come here to ask if its normal..I understand how hard it is to go out if you're suffering from depression..I know because I am the same way..I also play WoW and understand how easy it is to get sucked into it..but you have your whole life ahead of you! You want to go to college, and create a life..I think once you get into it, it will be easier to make friends and go out more..just because he is your only source of interaction, doesn't mean you need to stick with him. There are plenty of guys out there (even on wow if that's something that makes it easier for you) that will treat you with respect. Sorry for the wall of text!
