[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may only be pretending to be ok with it. I bet you and your family have a lot of people who you have hurt in your "fun." Why not stick to self deprecation? [/quote] +1 When I’m around people who behave this way, I smile and say nothing and then get away from them. I grew up in a family like this and it was actually really unhealthy. People didn’t know how to offer true emotional support, only how to tease and make light of things. It became very problematic when individuals were struggling with something real. People had no skills to deal with a family member’s PPD, or burn out at work, or marital problems that led to divorce (a divorce caused in part due to inability to stop joking and be real and genuine and vulnerable). Yes, even when it’s a family behavior, it’s covering for insecurity. Maybe especially then.[/quote]
