what is it? Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I usually don't like these types of web sites but sometimes you just don't feel like talking to someone... Lately my boyfriend has been hinting to my that I always kidding around..that my jokes or comments are really getting to him I'm the type of girl who is not so up-tight and likes to joke around and have fun...i've always been the one to make a group of people laugh...my family loves it when I'm at a family gathering because they say my sarcastic yet funny way is humorous to them...but sometimes i guess i take it a little to far....How do you know when to stop?? I always seem to try to make people feel comfortable and happy around me...some people are just so up-tight I can be serious sometimes a little too serious but no one seems to understand my character...I will point out I'm a Gemini....so i understand my change of moods but how can i make others adjust to me or my moods? Sometimes i feel my boyfriend is a little to sensitive when it comes to certain issues...or maybe i just don't pay attention to his feelings enough...I'm really lost right now and usually I'm not?? Any feed back would be great.
GirlDown Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 as long as you're not being hurtful, tell him to loosen the hell up. i'm the same way. but i try not be mean. i may say mean things about other people, but i won't necessarily say it TO those people because my intention is not to hurt anybody, really. sometimes, you just a need a little getting used to. he'll come around, and if not, then he just doesn't get you. of sourse this is if you're not being overly sensitive to things that bother him.
moimeme Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 so i understand my change of moods but how can i make others adjust to me or my moods? So the world has to adjust to accommodate you? Sometimes i feel my boyfriend is a little to sensitive when it comes to certain issues...or maybe i just don't pay attention to his feelings enough...I'm really lost right now and usually I'm not?? Any feed back would be great. Here's your answer: but no one seems to understand my character If others also feel hurt by your humour, then they don't share your idea of funny. And maybe you're a little more heavy-handed than you intend to be. Basically, if a person tells you you're hurting him and tells you how and you continue to do it, you're telling that person you don't care about his feelings. If you don't care about his feelings, then send him packing.
Renny_H Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I am also a very sarcastic person, and it burns me when the people I like get offended by it, or misinterpret it. I hate explaining myself and I understand my humour is probably elevated above their heads. In this topic's case, I can't tell if the boyfriend is an insecure wheeny who doesn't get jokes, or you are simply too harsh. I don't know, give examples of your humour.
notfunny Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Renny__ I can definitely relate to you...it burns and frustrates me when people don't get my jokes or realize that I'm just trying losing up the tension in the room.. My boyfriend is the most understanding boyfriend ever we have the greatest relationship and he does understand me but to him I sometimes take it to far...I guess I need to measure myself but I don't know how or when I'm even being over the top...He has a great sense of humor thats why I don't understand why he gets the way he gets
