Do you have this behavior?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a little sister who always tends to say in the car "oh I feel sick" I say oh you are fine. and today dad yelled at me that I'm assuming stuff which I always tend to do. So I was curious if other people did that.My family mention again for the billionth time they don't like me laughing when someone gets hurt/into trouble but A) you aren't seriously hurt and just skinned your knee and shouldn't have been RUNNING in the FIRST PLACE and B) It's YOUR own fault you got INTO TROUBLE. (I know I've mention these things on WP before sorry)

Doesn't everyone assume?



One time my boyfriend fell out of the tub and I started laughing. I still laugh about it to this day whenever I think about it.

I assume lots of things, and I do sometimes laugh at the pain of others when they cause it by doing something really stupid.

Thank You Spokane_Girl. Obviously I'm guessing he wasn't seriously hurt or you would of been freaking out correct? (like what I did when one of my little sisters busted her lip open) Big difference between running and falling then skinning your knee and busting your lip and bleeding!! !! !! Thanks again!! !! !! !! !!

But he landed on my waste basket and left a dent in it at the top and he said it hurt really bad but I still laughed.

no, I don't do that. I do tend to have a 'deal with it' philosophy, but my inner resources are limited so my dealing may not be optimum, and yet....one time a pediatric nurse told me I was probably the MOST OBSERVANT AND IN TUNE MOTHER she'd ever met (regarding my Rett Syndrome Daughter who I DIAGNOSED MYSELF)......


......but as for being a whiner, NO, it's a negative trait..... I always discouraged my children from 'whining' by not rewarding the behavior with 'over attention'.....and so my kids were NEVER whiners. Kids are trained to be whiners, or with some, maybe it is genetic. My daughter's husband is a whiner, and thus, when my grandson whines....I tend to think it's from his father's genes..........my kids never whined.

If I am sick enough to need help I ask for it....and I do like to get people's opinions....I like to do research to find out the meaning of symptoms and such, and available remedies and treatments. But, if my kids hurt themselves in a minor way, or had a tummy ache.....I didn't 'over react' or get all warm and fuzzy over it......I just dealt with it REALISTICALLY. Assessed the situation and responded. I took their complaints seriously, for instance bad ear ache means potential ear infection....etc....and I have a Rett Syndrome non-verbal child and so I HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO TUNE INTO REALITY......to assess for her actual NEEDS. (because she can't tell me with words).... I love hand 'feeding her' food........ that makes her happy.

i laugh when people hurt themselves. i laugh when i get in trouble. i can't help it.

I just tend to go away when such things happens, cause I tend to get a real laghter attach. Yes small injuries like hitting your thumb with the hammer, really gets me going. Especially the victims behaviour after the incident. s**t, I have to laugh at something too. Otherwise I'll try some jim carrey movie, or chevy chase, but I guess I've seen them all by now.
Know what you mean.

Wouldn't even DREAM of it! I'm extra sensitive and resist selfish behavior, yet, I may have some kind of Histrionic personality disorder.

Nope, never.

...

I tend to feel empathy/sympathy if someone gets hurt, but as long as the person didn't hurt him/herself much sometimes it can be funny, depending on the situation. For example, someone is walking and speaking to you and bumps into a tree because he wasn't watching where he was going lol (this happens to me too).

Sometimes I even laugh at myself soooo ... I remember once when I was a child, I was playing some ball game and fell on my knees, then looked at them and it was bloody and I thought it was funny lol my friend was horrified tho, but really it didn't hurt it just looked like it was bad but it wasn't.

But if the person really hurt him/herself, then no I won't find it funny.

And about the "assuming" part of your question, I think everyone does that once in a while (see right now I am assuming something lol)
