Why do we tease people we like?

The question is asking why we do tease people that like us, but we don't let them directly know that we like them.

We tease those who like us because it's our way of giving them attention without actually telling them that we like them because then we might get embarrassed.

I hope this helps!

Teasing a friend is a process of sharing something humorous with another person whose company you enjoy and who you wish to share the humour with. It is quite common for parents to tease their children or married couples to tease one another, because this process is part of sharing a close, warm relationship with one another person. Humour is an easy way to relieve stress and bring a smile to the face of a close friend or family member.

It is something we pick up through examples set by others. If someone grows up in a house where the adults have this sort of fun with one another and their children, an individual is more likely to use gentle teasing as part of their relationship with their new family (once they have gotten over just how "awful" their parents are for teasing them).

Once teasing becomes harsh, cruel, or vindictive, it is a sign that the relationship between the two individuals is damaged and needs to be restored or ended.

I am 62 years old. i have been teased, by my fellow workers, all my life. my attitude, toward the teasing, is a good one. i believe, if people did not like you, they would not tease you. i have found this to be true, after all these years. i have learned to deal with it.

But, there is a serious side of teasing. the teasing, of an indivdual, can be elevated to the limit of intimidation. intimidation teasing is serious. it can lead to assaults and especially domestic assaults.

The bottom line is this, teasing is acceptable, as long as it is under control and there is no actual intent involved. place yourself in the teased person's position and ask yourself this question. If, i were the person being teased, would this offend me in any way?

The teasing is used to give a reason for more communication. You get to know a person much better if you look at his communication style. With feigned conflicts you can probe the communcation style of a person very good. The things you learn about someone by that are much more important than most things you can get out with direct questions. For example: By asking someone if he has humor directly you will not really learn a lot. Better just look for some feigned cause for communcation and make some jokes.

Because i mean u won't go up to people and say i love u ! u really don't want that person to find out u like them! that would be embarrassing!

maybe because that person is jealous of you
