Emotional Connection Through Humor
Experiencing a range of emotions is essential for understanding human relationships. In environments where traditional expressions of affection, like hugs, are absent due to cultural or psychological barriers, humor and playful aggression can serve as substitutes for emotional connection. Individuals may resort to light-hearted banter, such as teasing and playful smacking, to express camaraderie and bond, especially among those with shared traumatic experiences. This approach allows for a unique form of interaction that acknowledges feelings without direct expressions of vulnerability.
