I laugh and make comments at inappropriate times. Help?

Question

I don't know why I do this, but it just happens. A few days ago, my aunt told me that her friend's dad had just passed away, and I started belting out the tune to the hit single "Another One Bites the Dust." It just happened, and I couldn't control it! It happens at school, too, and I get in trouble. Any tips to help make '07 a good and comment-free year, or at least, try to control my commentary?

Answer 1

it's called being a jerk, i have the same problem

Answer 2

You have a sick sense of humor, clearly, and I think that's just dandy. I, too, have a sick sense of humor, so you're not alone. I'm definitely gonna remember to start singing "Another One Bites the Dust," next time I hear of a death. Remember, humor is subjective. I once told a Holocaust joke to some Jews, and they became incensed. I told them to lighten up. I suggest you tell people the same. Happy New Year.

Salaam.

Well, hun, it sounds to me like you just try to see the humor in everything, and I mean EVERYthing. That is not a bad thing! I bet you have a great personality and it is very easy for you to make people laugh. Learning to keep it shut will come to you one day, just maybe not today. Until it does come, just apologize after your comment and say, "Gosh, I'm so sorry. I don't know what's come over me!" That wouldn't be a lie right? Good luck, sweetie. There aren't enough people like you. Just as long as you know when to really be serious, that's all that matters.

Answer 4

I have a friend who does this. The problem is a lack of tact. You have to understand that making inappropriate comments like this tends to p*ss people off, and in turn, hurts your interests in life. It actually makes your life more difficult. When you are old enough to work, you will need to co-exist with your colleagues. If you anger them with inappropriate comments, they will not want to work with you. It means you will need to change jobs frequently. I have observed this in my friend.

In short, learn to * think before you speak *. It will help you immensely in the long run. Good luck.

Answer 5

You should probably listne to people more often. Control yourself and your urges to 'bursting' remarks. Or watch movies - if you don't like being yourself that way, watch how they do it in the movies.
But really, all you need to do is just look before you leap. Think about what you're going to say first and evaluate it and think of the possible outcomes.

Answer 6

Being aware of the problem is the biggest obstacle. Make yourself count to three before you say anything at all. It may be you do these things to avoid reality but your response is likely hurtful to those around you.

Wait before you speak. You can control what you do. You are aware of the problem. You can change the way you act.

Answer 7

Ahaha. I have had the same problem. I just tend to take life not to serious I guess, and lack sympathy for a lot of people/things and it's not like I really want to be mean-I just can't take a lot of things serious-I laugh at everything and everyone! lol.

Answer 8

It sounds like you have a dark humor side to you. Maybe you could channel it into a book or screen play for National Lampoon or something.

Answer 9

yes, think before you speak, because 1 day your mouth will get you in alot of trouble. just stop thinking senseless and start having some sense before something bad happens.

Answer 10
