Why do I laugh when I get really angry?
Like when they taunt me I get so pissed off but I try to hold it in but I end up laughing and they end up making fun of me and condescending me and they never take me seriously
Answer:
I laugh like that sometimes, too. Mostly it's because I'm ultimately sad. People who are mean to other people are pretty stupid, and it makes me both angry and sad. But it's not the kind of sadness that makes you want to cry - it's the kind of sadness that you finally just have to laugh about because you KNOW that you can't talk to these people or make them see reason, or make them feel the pain you feel. It's like the only thing you can do is shake your head, roll your eyes, and walk away.
For me, I think laughing is a response that I make out of a certain level of frustration, too. I'm not one of those people who is "quick on my feet" with a snappy response, but I do know at the gut level that what they're doing is childish and petty. I'm slowly but surely learning to really drop the normal inhibitions about being "nice" to people ALL the time, and speaking up about such people. When I can do that - when that "switch" flips (for lack of a better description of how it feels) - I KNOW that I'm going to nail them right where they live. It takes practice, but it is happening. I hope you will be able to make it happen in time, too.
drurrrrrrrrr
Laughing is a coping mechanism; I don't know what it is exactly or how it works but it is the same as when people laugh when someone gets hurt.
This is not a dig in any way I really think it could help to talk to someone like a counselor or a therapist someone who knows about it and who can help you get your anger out in a constructive way and get people to take you more serious. The key being for you to understand it.
Laughing when angry (or scared) is common in a lot of people (my mother for instance). I think it is because anger and fear are two emotions that we try really hard to conceal. Some people believe showing anger (or fear) is a sign of weakness, but really it's just a sign that we are human.
Stop laughing.
Show them what dignity is by being calm, cool, and in charge.
Then give 'em the Finger.
Laughter can be a way to decompress (in place of, say, punching someone). It may be a coping mechanism you are using currently, but may change with age, and experience. If it's a nervous laugh though, that is a sign of submission. People who bully, prey on that sort of thing. I'm not sure, by your description, which is the more likely form in your situation.
