Why do people laugh?

At uncool people? At school I was really quiet and whenever I spoke a group of lads would laugh and start asking stupid questions taking the mick. Now in our early 20's one of them sees me regular at a golf club and when he walks past me he smirks to himself and avoids me. He's not nasty or anything and is really sensible with his friends but im just wondering why he does this lol what is he thinking? He doesn't fancy me or anything as he thinks I don't talk plus im not attractive but why does he have this smirking thing with me? lol.

It might be because it brings back memories of when he was in College. I would just ignore it and not let it bring you down. I know it's easier said than done, but that's all I can really say unfortunately! :frown:

He's just trying to reassure himself that he is the bigger man. I would bet £100 that his penis is tiny.

Im not a man though I know what you mean, he would probably have been the same if I was male.
They're the mistakes in the gene pool. Should be exterminated.

the most likely reason is that like you implied you were not that popular in school.. so when they laughed at you back then theyre probably still remembering what they were laughing about => hence the smirk. its fairly simple association.

dont feel bad...

I would take that bet, a tenner on small penis :smile:

Good grief, next time he does it, smirk back. And keep doing it, as insecure as he probably is you'll no doubt give him a complex.

Life's too short to waste on worrying about idiots.

Because they foolishy think that because there 'cool' they have the right to Judge everyone at their disposal. Ignore the guy, you are much better person then He will ever be.
(Its even better when People who said nasty things to you in a school now work on a chip van and your at uni.. Haha Sweet revenge.)

Oh yes, this is the greatest thing ever. School reunions are also fun, when the bitch/bastard who made our life hell is pregnant/fat/drug addict/lost thier looks/work at local garage.

What? I'm being disparaging. Whining out because someone smirks at you seems a bit of a nonsense problem.
Uhm he could just be innoculously remembering stuff. Go surprise him next time lol.
