Hypothetical:
The topic of body weight comes up in the conversation.
The first friend - very thin - asks you, in the presence of all the others, *“Do you think I’m fat?” * You reply, “No.”
The second friend - very thin - then asks you, in the presence of all the others, *“Do you think I’m fat?” * You reply, “No.”
The third friend - very thin - then asks you, in the presence of all the others, *“Do you think I’m fat?” * You reply, “No.”
The fourth friend - very thin - then asks you, in the presence of all the others, *“Do you think I’m fat?” * You reply, “No.”
Now, the fifth friend - very fat- asks you, in the presence of all the others, *“Do you think I’m fat?” *
“I don’t answer questions like that.”
“No.”
It’s up to you whether to add “I know you are.”
Unless I know my friend is delusional, and doesn’t really realize that they’re fat, I’d assume they were being sarcastic and play along with it. The specific response would be dependent on many factors, in that case.
And, as an aside, as a non-delusional fat guy, if I was Friend 5, I almost certainly would ask the same question, in a sarcastic manner.
The moment the first friend asked that question, I would roll my eyes and leave the room, never to return.

I think you need to find friends who are better conversationalist.
You shouldn’t have allowed yourself to fall into this trap to begin with, by answering the first girl.

I don’t see in the OP where the five friends are named as men or women.

I would need specifics. E.g.,
"How tall are you? How much to you weight? Are you well muscled?
Do you consider (insert above data) fat?"
I would have to decide based on the information provided by the poser of the question.

If it’s men, then the op really needs new friends.
If it’s a man I say yes. If it’s a woman I fake a heart attack.
She might find that **more **offensive than “yes.”
“Shut your fat trap! You know I love ya, baby.”
I thought the OP was one of those truisms where you look at all the people you’re with and if they’re not fat, it’s you.
“No, honey, I don’t want to fight, today”.

“Yes.”
If you’re fat you’re fat. Do you want me to pretend that you aren’t? That’s idiotic.
I guess that’s not the all purpose ‘out’ I was relying on. I guess I could pretend to be choking on some food… no, I guess that one’s out also.
“Do you think I’m stupid?”

Assuming I’m not married to Number Five I would probably say “yes” or “somewhat”. If I was married to Number Five I would go more than just fake a heart attack; I would drop a NitroQuik and hope I passed out quickly.
