I was wondering if anyone else relates to this response.
For example, when I was probably about 10 or 11 someone bullied me for refusing to do something by calling me a chicken. I knew the term and what it meant and I know that the expected response would be to succumb to the peer pressure or at least get hurt or defensive or something of that nature. My response was to proceed to act like a chicken and then ended up busting out laughing when the bully got confused and perhaps even embarrassed as anticipated.
Later at job sites, if someone mocks me or hits me with something and things like that I largely ignore them, keep doing my work and looking for the positive things. I would sometimes start noticing the puzzled looks and might even get a comment about how I should be mad. Everyone's expressions end up amusing me. You can tell everyone is confused and the biggest irony is that some of them will even looked scared and for what? I was just working at my work assignment. They were the one that did something against me. I didn't do anything back and have absolutely no intention of doing so yet they are the ones standing around looking nervous and commenting to each other about thinking I might be dangerous even though I have done nothing to appear dangerous but am merely doing my job as expected by management.
This amuses me and I laugh pretty easy and can have trouble getting it entirely under control and somehow getting amused is one of the things that triggers an energy spike so I may begin to do my work with gusto and frequently escaping snickers and giggles. Later when someone that was not present comes around and asks me about it I will tell them what the person did and then declare that the people think I am "mad" because I am not angry and then I giggle more.
