Get very irked when people pull my leg in public.

I usually find myself assuming someone's joking around when they actually mean it seriously, so my first reaction is to laugh and stay meek, then a few seconds later I discover (by their body language) that it wasn't a joke, so I feel stupid for laughing. Then the more I laugh like that when someone insults me, the more they think they can get away with hurtling me feelings.

I hate me.

The second part of that saying is no less important: "fool me twice..." If you continue assuming the best as soon as you have evidence to the contrary, you're the fool.
