Humour v.s. Insult

I have never been good at giving negative feedback to others because I have always been a people pleaser; nice, they call me. Thus, I tend to bottle up my anger rather than express it. However, this time I found the need to express my feeling truly. Thus, I told them that I wasn't amused and I didn't think those hurtful commons were necessary. I was quite impressed with myself that I decided to do something different this time, because it really brought my colleagues and I closer. (Humm....it may have something to do with me sending those emails at one o'clock in the morning after my X'mas party, but it was the only time I was free. Maybe that's why they took me so seriously...:P)

This incident really get me to think not only how I deal with my anger, but also the thin line between "being funny" and "hurting someone else feeling". Early this week, a friend of mine kindly told me that she disliked the way I mocked at her. I appreciated her honesty deeply and I sincerely feel sorry for what I did. I have been on both ends that I have hurt someone and have also been hurt by unintentional jokes. Now, I am extremely carefully when I make fun of ppl and I still contemplating to find that right balance to be a truly fun person to be around.
