High ping on my own self-hosted server

I have got my laptop running Linux to host a small Minecraft server.
But I usually get ~40ms ping (same network) and my friends in the same country get ~50
The weird thing is I pinged my laptop and it shows 2ms results? Very confusing :D

Thank you in advance

Solution

Are you using paper then that ping might not reflect the real network ping. Noticed that a while ago. Because packets seem to get scheduled to the next tick end.
