Is this my immaturity coming to light?

    In life, for whatever reason, I find certain things funny that others normally wouldn't. I am one of those people that laugh in situations that I shouldn't and take things that I should laugh off, seriously. Moreso, the former.

    I just feel not every damn thing in this world is such a big deal, and is a life or death situation. Am I the only one?

    For example. I drove into my mom's garage door and bent it ever so slightly, and I could not control my laughter when I told her. I know that is stupid under the circumstances, but I just find irony to be so damn humorous. People have gotten so upset with me constantly because I think certain things are funny. Sometimes I genuinely cannot control it.

    I've been borrowing my mom's car because I am saving up for one, and she was really iffy about trusting me with it. Well one day she told me that she finally trusted/believed in me and would therefore let me use it more frequently. The following day, I had what the insurance company labeled an "accident," and when I told her I just couldn't hold back my chuckles because the situation was so damn ironic. Just the day before she gave me her blessings. The more I type the more I seem like an ass.

    I know it is my immaturity, and I do not know why I am asking. Another thing is when I see people fall or get hurt, I cannot and will not shut up. I am typically in tears laughing. If I see a child fall off a slide at a park, everyone scolds me because I would be the only one laughing my ass off.

    How can I control my sense of humor?

    Have you tried laughing maniacally while wearing a purple suit?

    I used to find those kind of things funny too until I had to pay for the damage myself.

    This kind of nails it. OP has some child-like tendencies or insecurities coming to light with that laughing response.

    There are other reasons why you are laughing and they aren't cause the situation is humorous. I mean I laugh at dark and stupid stuff too but to me when you wrote that out it sounded like there are some other issues.

    oops wrong thread. But I do recommend any thread have pics of female roommates.

    As for OP I don't think you are immature. some people think this way all their life. I guess it is okay although for certain things if you can't be normal then that sucks for you and the persons around you.

    Like this car. Are you going to pay for it? if so then yeah maybe its okay and laugh about it. Sounds to me like perhaps you don't pay for your consequence and therefore it doesn't matter?

    I know trust fund babies that can smoke crack all day and get arrested all the time and their family and parents bail them out. It depends on your reality.

    If the worst thing that you are dealing with is a fender bender then sounds like there is not much consequence and nothing major has caused you to change. so you are probably fine. I would take the serious stuff (like not smoking crack, banging without a condom, getting married on a whim for fun) more seriously if they arise. Pick and choose your serious if indeed you are genuinely not thinking it is a big deal.

    In other words sack up and pay for the car you dented and don't do serious stuff like have children with guys from prison like my sister in law did.

    You sound like a spoiled brat. You borrow your moms car, wreck it into HER garage door, and your only reaction is laughter? Wow.

    I'm guessing OP is a spoiled, ungrateful teenager. If so then yeah there's a lot wrong with you and you should feel bad that you are the way you are. But that goes for nearly every teen.

    Try writing a check to pay for that new garage door, and see how funny it is.

    Why did you run into that garage door, youngster? Texting your 7th period classmate? :confused:

    Well Holden Caulfield, my guess is you will learn to control your "sense of humor" the first time you get a fist in your throat from a pissed off dad for laughing at his kid for hurting himself.
