| there was a joking side/style that now would not bother me at all
Explanation:
...or pranking side/style, depending on the context. Joking is more for funny stories, pranking is usually reserved for practical jokes.

| ... there used to be a lot of joshing (joking) around me, but now it doesn't embarrass me any more
Explanation:
before I felt uncomfortable with all the joking; I wasn't at ease with them... but now..
you could also say: "it doesn't bother me anymore" "i am o.k. with it" a bit freer
