Didi7: Laughter is/has always been soothing/therapeutic, but it can be hurtful when laced with scorn and sarcasm against someone. It’s ok if close friends and family laugh at you, and with you, but what about people who don’t really know you?

Here’s a scenario:
Whilst walking down the street, I slip and fall on my butt. Two guys passing by help me up and collect my things, but one of them had a huge grin on his face and said to me, “Tants, lucky ting you wearin’ jeans!”
We laugh in unison, but I felt a bit embarrassed. Were they laughing with me, or at me?

I was just thinking about it...nothing to be too serious about really.
This was no accident, you tripped deliberately to attract attention from these young men, didn't you?

Very clever plan and I'll bet you did it beautifully. The classic damsel in distress
