how do you deal with people laughing when you're being serious
i've been in a few situations like this over the years...where i'm talking to someone about a serious issue, i'm being serious and the other person is laughing? it is so annoying that...how should you respond to a situation like this??
I don't know if this can work for you but I continue talking about whatever it is I need to say though there have been a few times when I looked at the person and said "It's obvious I'm taking up your time." then leave.
This is something I always worry about because one of my tics is to laugh and smile. I always have to apologize to who ever is talking to me. I always feel so bad!;
