I have an unfortunate tendency to find other people crying funny. I know it's wrong and I don't find their emotional pain funny, but...have you ever seen someone cry? It just - something about it. I have to choke back a laugh. It's not an attractive thing and the way the face screws up, usually...plus sometimes when people are crying it sounds funny, I've mistaken tears for laughter sometimes.

I'm a terrible person.

On a side note, I'd really love it if no one decided I was a psychopath because of my Hubski posts today. I have feels, I swear. (They taste delicious.)

I guess so. Geez. I thought I was an asshole. I cant touch this. Can't say I cry too often, but on the off chance that I did, I think being laughed at might be enough to make me want to kill someone. Straight up heartless!

Hey, I'm not saying I burst out in laughter or anything. I know it's inappropriate and I supress the reaction. Also, guys crying I generally find more scary.

I have also laughed:

- when I found out my grandparents died

- when a boyfriend told me his (still-married-to-his-mother) father was gay

Generally I think part of it is I tend to think, for a few seconds, that really bad news is just a joke.
