He says this after hearing Mercutio teasing him about Roslyn. Romeo is saying that Mercutio is poking at what he thinks are his tender feelings for Roslyn, when in fact, he no longer has any feelings for her. He loves Juliet now, and realizes that his "love" for Roslyn was superficial and phony.

He's talking to benvolio about being in love with Juliet. Benvolio was criticizing Romeo for loving Juliet and Romeo is is basically telling him to shut up, he doesn't know anything about being in love or what its like because he has never been before.

Romeo is talking about someone (Mercutio, I believe) joking that he (Romeo) is still pining for Roslyn, when he has actually just fallen for Juliet and is going to meet her.

He thinks he has been hurt until it is too much. Fear is a wound that makes us incapable of trying. Laughing at a fear of heights when you are still standing on the ground.

It is easy to laugh at a pain that you've never had to experience yourself.

The guy who has never been hurt can laugh at those who have.
