Because no matter how well dressed we are or how high powered our job is - we all fall down the stairs like the wonderful fools that we are! \n\nI think its not laughing at thier pain, but at thier exposure as a vulnerable human being.

other miserable people feed off of others' misery. it makes them feel better. and people see your misery as a weakness, and they attack it... it's petty, but it makes them feel like they have power over you. all you need to do is stop giving them such an easy target. don't react/overreact to them. find someone to talk to about your own problems and tell the others to flag off.

They don't always. Some of us turn to humor, to family & friends, and/or to psychiatry.

You can't help them unless they want help.  It's impossible.  We have run into that problem in our life and honestly, it feels like we are banging our heads up against the wall for all the good we are doing.  When they reach rock bottom, then you can be there to pick up the pieces and try to put him/her back together again.  Sorry I have no better advice for you.

I always ask and no I don't stop being their friend. What I do is offer my help.

I agree with that one 100% because while you are looking down at someone for their faults, you have your own and someone else could be doing the same to you. and you should help people out especially if you are able to help in the situation that needs helping, whether its a physical or and emotional obstacle you should always be there to help a hand, or even a ear.

Obviously we can't help everyone.  I believe that God puts certain people in our paths that we are meant to help.  When we recognize these people, we do whatever we can for them within our means.  \n\nAside from that, smiles never hurt.

My friend, it is all in a mind set.  Why not just smile to them and laugh inside because you have the ability to understand why they did it. They see something in you that they do not have and thus they are trying to bring you down to their level. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!\n\nIf you know such is not true, you know they are the ones with the problem and not you. Do rejoice in that and let that thought put you in the position that you really do feel sorry for them because they can not even see their failure. However you can see it clearly.\n\nLook to the simple things. An ant will always come if it finds food, but if no food is found it will stop coming. If you just smile and ignore these people, eventually they will first quit because you do not react. Next they may want to be your friend to learn your secret. Then at that time you will be in control because you will now be their teacher ha ha.\n\nSee my friend there is magic in patience and much can be gained in a little wisdom. So take care, smile a lot, even laugh but in good taste and enjoy life. You only have now to do it so enjoy it now. So have a great day OK.

It is not funny that the person got hurt it is funny how they got hurt. Many people's first reaction to accidents is to laugh it is not that it is funny but it is that laughter can sometimes make something serious a little lighter. Don't you laugh when you fall down or make a fool of yourself.

It depends.  If they look really ridiculous when they fall and its obvious they didn't hurt themselves, I laugh my a** off!   But if it looked like it hurt then my nuturing side takes over and I check to make sure they're ok....THEN I laugh my a** off!

Yes. This something I do almost every day and how I've made some of my closest friends. I believe that every person has something good and beautiful inside of them. We all deserve love and attention. When someone is so low that they feel they don't want to live, that is when I feel closest to a stranger. I know how they feel because I've been there and I never have problems crying with them or helping them out. I'm always making friends because I wear my heart on my sleeve and offer anything I can to everyone. I love people and because I am so loving, they love me back. :^)

I have found that to "lighten up" with humor and laughter helps reduce pain.  Associate with people who love life and love to laugh & have a positive outlook for the future.

It sounds like you are bi-polar like myself.  In this world there are Garfields and Odies...we are Odies, we work to help and please people but once they do not return the kindness we become Garfields with a vengence.  I truly understand how you feel but your family and friends are right, you are fine.  We are known as "people pleasers" and it is hard to accept that people do not return the kindness. The temper and hard to forgive are normal if not extreme.  I bet you believe the same as me "What goes around,,,comes around" ie "What you put out will come back to you" or in modern terms PAY IT FORWARD....but you really are fine and a good person.

I don't know why, but it seems that there are many people who simply enjoy hurting others.  I suspect it stems from them feeling powerless and insecure, so they get a small charge to their own egos when they can make someone else feel bad. \n\n There are, also, others who simply take advantage of people - they see goodness and kindness as a kind of weakness they can exploit for their own means.\n\nDon't let this turn YOU bitter, though.  Remember to tell yourself that those people, in the end, will suffer for it when they find they lack solid, real and loving friendships in their lives.
