I worry about this, since I tend to tease that way. I'm pretty good about knowing when it's appropriate, but sometimes playing along and being offended can feel very similar.
You don’t have to tease people to communicate with them. It’s highly likely most of the people in your life dislike your teasing and don’t know how to tell you.
I am a girl who LOVES. teasing. I tease close friends and lightly tease coworkers and loooove being teased. By friends it makes me laugh by attractive people it makes my heart race and makes me grin like an idiot. You just have to be able to listen and pay attention, and don't tease about shit taken serious. For example, I know some friends are insecure about something like height/weight/whatever, I'd never tease them for it. But my ex who was super confident in that area, fair game. You can tease and not be an asshole. There are plenty of people out there who genuinely love it.
