why do people laugh at other people's pain?

Question

well this doesnt apply for ALL people, but to the people who do laugh at other people's pain

Answer 1

there are an increasingly large number of people who are dolts with no sense of anything in this life they are cretin level idiots who think that everything is funny until it happens to them then its the end of the world. Chalk it up to parents who are just as bad and pass all their social garbage on to the kids. Rational caring humans never go there ....only those with IQ's like anyone in the George Bush family... mental midgets have no place in the world of sensitive people ..... they make one fully understand why some animals eat their young

please do what you can to stop these lowlifes from breeding more like themselves

i'd seem into sensory integration if he were mine. If interior the states he might want to be assessed for loose through Early intervention, and then if qualified get loose OT to handle sensory themes. Sensory themes do run in households. I actually have unresolved themes, remedy wasn't so accepted 35 years in the past. All of my youthful ones have it, yet has lessened with remedy. a number of my best sensory themes are tactile defensiveness, i don't like my palms grimy, I hate touching floor pink meat to make burgers, tags in outfits worsen me, i don't like the seams on my socks to run a particular way, also I actually have hypervestibular themes, being fearful of heights, and carsickness. I actually have hypopropioceptive themes, and am very coincidence companies. I stub my toe a minimum of 1X/wk, holiday going up stairs etc. genuinely each and every man or woman at his age has an immature frightened device, he would elect some help maturing it so he would not finally end up and man or woman that still has sensory themes. Sensory themes are like indigestion to the digestive device, it really is a synonym popular. There are suggestions to awaken and manage the frightened device. a fave one is wilbarger brushing, which we do do.

Sometimes I used to think it was because people were mean or ill mannered. I don't think that anymore because I have caught myself laughing at others. I asked myself why and sometimes it is because it makes it easier for me to deal with and sometimes it is because I am human and act shallow. However, you can never control the reactions of others all you can do is learn to react the best for yourself. Other people will always find fault, or laugh, or make fun of whatever..but you have to be strong enough in yourself to deal with human beings. Have faith that most people are good and those that laugh will eventually learn through their own experiences.

I know this doesn't totally apply to your question or even to you directly but I felt this was my experience.

Answer 4

because they are inconsiderate to other people's feelings, not to mention heartless and cruel. it all depends really, if its a joke, then that is one exception, otherwise it is never amusing to find pain and anguish a laughing matter. regardless of whether someone has been injured or was physically beaten up or whether they are suffering from mental or emotional pain- be it depression, schizophrenia for example, it is wrong to make fun of or laugh at the expense of other people's pain

Answer 5

If you're talking, mild , not severe stuff - it's just human nature. Part nerves/empathy & part ego boost. But if you're talking of serious pain, mentally or physically - the people laughing have a serious socio-pathic problem with unchecked mental issues themselves. There's all kinds out there man, don't let it get to you

Answer 6

If we're talking about a 12 year old that broke up with her boyfriend,like 90% of the people on her,then it's laughable.If a serious situation exists I'm sorry for your pain !

Answer 7

Because the people laughing are in pain themselves. Misery loves company. There are sick people in this world that feel so down, that when someone else is down and out, it actually lifts their mood.

Answer 8

I personalty don't laugh at people in pain. But I have a friend that does and she say it makes them fell better. Myself thinks it is rude!

Answer 9

I can't remember if it was "Truth in Comedy" or "The Comic Toolbox", but I'm sure the thesis of one of those books was that all comedy comes from pain. I'm leaning towards "The Comic Toolbox", and if you're the one I lent that to, would you please return it? I miss it.

I don't think the link between comedy and pain is a bad thing. It's one of the ways we deal with pain.

Answer 10

it's not so much the pain we laugh at, but the situation that leads up to it.
