Joking around with someone can be a pleasing thing. However, people may see it differently. The jokes will become worse when you show you can't accept them. You need to catch the fine line between laughing with someone and laughing at them.
To make a tease（取笑）feel proper, we need to consider the relationship between each other. A healthy tease should make both sides feel relaxed. When both sides know it's simply a joke, a feeling of understanding can be created. The environment is important for close relationships. But it doesn't matter if your sister calls you by your nickname（绰号）when you're at home.
Meanwhile, different people have different views on jokes. When making a joke, we naturally see the funny side of it. We don't know what experiences they have had, so we don't know how they might understand the joke. Imagine a swimming party where one person doesn't get in the pool. Others might tease him or her for not joining in or being unable to swim. But what if that person is afraid of water? Those doing the teasing might say they didn't know. People might have their own personal reasons for not seeing the funny side.
Good relationships can be formed without putting others down. In our lives, we should pay attention to our words and actions and care about others' feelings.
A. The level of relationship is key. B. But other people might not see it in the same way C. Sometimes it may make people feel angry and painful. D. Teasing is a good way to help people build friendship: E. You may not feel good when you're called by your nickname across the playground. |
