I can sympathize with this! These people really don’t understand that it’s like “death by a thousand cuts”! You’ve heard hundreds of these “jokes”. They love to think they’re being original in their statements to you, (they think they’re just emotionally bonding or whatever) but when fifty (or five hundred) people keep making the same joke about you, it starts to have a detrimental effect! I know you wish they’d just shut up about it and leave the subject alone, since this ceased to be funny to you a thousand “jokes” ago!
