This morning, I am sipping my cup of coffee at our balcony. There was a man in front of our neighbor's house. I believed he is a carpenter. To cut it short, he was laughing hard and looking at me. Now, how would you react? I am not sure if you are going to feel insulted. But I called his attention and asked him what is his problem. According to him, he is feeling bad about the other neighbor's way of talking with him. What a day? I thought it was me. Would you get angry when someone laughing and looking at you?

We may feel insulted like that but better to ignore like in this case he was not laughing on you

That was he claimed. It is fine if he is not looking and laughing at me. It is an insulting gesture especially if I do not know him.

sometimes, what we see is not necessarily what we think. so I do not immediately take offense, maybe I will ask why are you laughing?

I cannot restrain myself, so I asked him. The good thing that it was not me.

Not anymore, it used to happen so often that I would feel hurt and if I would say anything they would say they were not laughing at me .... nothing I could do so after a while I just started ignoring people.

I tend to ignore people. With this incident, he is so provocative. So I blurt out what is his problem.

If I know the person I will ask why he is looking or laughing at me.

I do not know that it is the worst thing. I cannot conceal my feeling why is he doing this. I managed to call his attention.

@jobelbojel He was looking at me while laughing. He even makes it harder when I entered the house. So I need to confront him

It's your right to ask why, I'd be annoyed as well. Because you might think he's making fun of you.

That's my point. I need to ask him without any second thoughts. It is really not a good behavior for him to do.

I was about to ignore him but still keeps on mimicking Ilocano words in a high pitch. Something snapped inside of me and I need to ask him. It was fine when he had his alibis.

I was thinking that way. However, when I went inside the door, he continued acting this way in a louder way. It is a provocative one. So I cannot help not to ignore at this point in time.
