People laughing at my appearance? why?
That sounds like a very difficult problem you are dealing with. I guess I would wonder if they are laughing at something specific Do you dress/groom out of the ordinary? If so, why do you do that? Are you trying to attract attention or just trying to express yourself? If not, then they are just not good people. Whatever the situation, remember that these people are likely have very low self esteem and by making fun of someone else, they are in effect bolstering their own self image. We make these downard social comparisons all the time. We say, "i don't have it as bad as so and so" and what these people are doing to you is an extreme form of that. For starters, I would recommend reading a book by gentlemen by the name of Frankel called "Man's Search for Meaning". I think it might provide you with some insight in this regard. Also, read anything you can by Abraham Maslow or Carl Rogers. Finally, if you are happy with who you are, you simply will not care about what others think.
Why do people laugh at me?
I'm the typical 15 year old I guess, I've noticed that when I'm alone outside like waiting for a lift after my piano lessons a group of teenagers might be walking by or some people on their bikes and they occasionally look at me and say something under their breath or laugh. It makes me paranoid and now whenever I'm walking in the streets or I'm in places I avoid eye contact with people and keep my head down. Whenever I walk past somebody I look away to the floor and I hold my breath for some reason but I don't really get why and since I've got worried about the people that laugh at me (when it is obvious it is me and I'm not just being paranoid) I've had a few panic attacks. I just want to fix whatever it is that makes people laugh at me so that I can feel okay again so what could it be? Thank you any responses that will help I'd appreciate a lot really.
How can I let go when people insult me, laugh at me, label me or use me? I am 33 years old and I still don’t know how to deal with this.
I am so sorry to hear that these people are hurting you.I find having fun, bantering and laughing at myself has helped me to cope with life’s daily challenges.When people tell me that I am crazy, stupid, weird, strange, nuts, or whatever, I agree with them and laugh at myself for whatever they just called me. This neutralises the situation. This also tells them that I am not serious about what they just called me nor am I going to take it personally. I can laugh at myself. I can laugh at the insults, the laughing at me and labelling me.Until you learn to laugh at yourself as in deprecating humour, you shall always be in this situation where you are hurt from others negativity towards you.Seriousness brings serious circumstances. Learn to laugh at things in life. Learn to connect with your inner child and become child like. Have fun. Do whatever you want to do. Focus on yourself. Write down your bucket list. Write down some goals you want to achieve.I think you would benefit from attending a twelve step program to help you let go of things that you have no control with. I think you could have been given too much toxic shame from your family set up. I also think that you could be a co-dependent from the details in your question. Look up your local Codependence Anonymous group and reach out to them. Attend their meetings regularly and you shall be on the road to recovery and healing.
Why do I laugh when threatened?
When I worked in a haunted house many years ago, I found that people reacted in different ways to threats, real or perceived. Some people laugh in situations that are either threatening or beyond their control. It’s far more common than you would think.People who go to haunted houses do so for the thrill, obviously. People seem to enjoy being frightened or put into situations where their only required response is to react. This is probably why people love roller coasters, scary movies, bungee jumping, skydiving, and going to haunted houses.Here is what I discovered. When put into a situation that could be considered scary, people will either laugh or cry, run or stand their ground, or curl up into a ball and fall to the ground, defenseless. There is one group that will simply swear loudly and emphatically. I am one of the types that swears when confronted by danger. And there is of course the ones who become violent, striking out at any perceived threat.I created names for the different types. Those who laughed were known as ‘clowns’. Those who sobbed or started crying or screaming were called ‘babies.’ Runners were known as ‘runners’. Those that froze and fell to the ground were called ‘moles.’ Those that swore were called ‘sailors’ for obvious reasons, and the violent ones were called ‘troublemakers.’ Those ones were the largest threat to the staff. They were unpredictable and could be dangerous.It was a ‘no-touch’ haunt, and the staff weren’t allowed to touch the customers, but oftentimes the staff had to deal with being touched by patrons. It is just as disconcerting as one would expect to have a customer grab you from behind while you were doing your job. I had it happen to me a couple of times, and the urge to strike back is hard to overcome. So they were introduced to my extremely profuse swearing talent.I enjoyed those two seasons, but in doing so, learned that people who run haunted houses are secretly psychopaths disguised as small business owners. :)
What does it mean when people smile at you when you look at them?
It doesn't have to mean anything. I smile at people who look at/acknowledge me just to be polite.
Why do people laugh at shy people that find public speaking terrifying?
It's very common to be frightened of public speaking. I agree with you. Laughing at others is a cheap way to feel good. These people are rude and should be corrected for behaving this way. Don't let these kind of people take up space in your head. They don't even deserve the time of day.
Should I be embarrassed if people (including my best friend) laugh at me?
Why are people laughing at you? Is it because you are telling a great joke and they find it funny?If you feel that folks are making fun of you for what ever reason then you need to need to decide whether or not the situation needs to be confronted with them, including the person you call your best friend. Best friends do not make fun of their besties, so you should also consider not having this person in your circle of friends.You should not allow these bullies to make you feel embarrassed. You’ve done nothing wrong - it is those people of are laughing at you that have done something wrong, they are bullies and you don't need them in your life.Don't get angry or upset with them, walk away, say nothing and find some new friends who don't hurt your feelings. There are plenty of people out their that would love to be friends with you and not hurt your feelings.If things get out of hand with them, you should talk to your parents or teacher about their behaviour.
What does it mean when guys laugh at you for no reason?
They like you and are drawing attention. Hormones out of control. If you like either or both turn back and smile. Else ignore.They are rude guys with a very high complex, take a guess high or low. Either ignore. Not worth your time. You can drop something next to them and stamp on their toes, lookup and smile. Brilliant!They are laughing at their own discussion. You just happened to be there. Accept the whole world is not laughing at you. You are not the centre of attraction. Become more accepting of yourself. You look good and so does your backside when you bend!
Some of my evil hooligan colleagues laugh at me openly & make jokes on me everyday. I don't know them personally and they work in another team. It makes me very angry and I curse them everyday. I don't want to confront them. How can I deal with this?
Your reaction is responsible for this situation. Means they laugh at you , means they want your reaction ,if you reacted or getting angry then they succeed so the best way to face situation like this is , show them that you dont have any problem with their behaviour means show them that your focus is in only work.Dont get reacted then they will automatically stop their behaviour.. Best of luck
