How do you react when people laugh at your tics?

Question for anyone else who has TS / A tic disorder, Do you let people laugh/talk about your tics?

I've had people tell me I shouldn't let anyone treat me like that but I've never minded if I were friends with the person. How do you all react when others react to you? I know I shouldn't let others dictate how I handle my disability, but I always end up giving it some thought anyway.
