As a 9; I have a tendency to try to make sure that everyone is in a good mood.
I like to give people hugs, pay them meaningful compliments and try to keep a laid-back attitude.
However I am terrible at dealing with people when they are angry.
When others are angry, I automatically smile/ laugh which usually leads to the person getting angrier and me laughing more so I need to go into a different room so that I don't make them angrier. I can't seem to control it! I always feel guilty after but I still can't control my reaction (it's like a cough that needs to come out). I'm worried in case this behaviour could damage future relationships as it comes across to others as if I am mocking them and when I explain that it is a nervous habit, it seems like I am lying.
Have you ever struggled with this and do you know any way I can stop myself from reacting this way?
