    depend on TPO. I need to concern if dude always tripping out of nothing every single time on every single place where nothing could tripping em.
    cuz me and my dad also like that. last time i almost moved my knee cap and ankle after i got tripping out of nothing.
    and my old man wouldn't want to check up to doctor despite his eyes problem always make him hit/ trip something. in the end he always blame us whenever he fall/hit/trip by something... he's in his 73 this august...

    You're still young. You'll be in even more embarrassing situations in the future, so don't worry about it. :blobpeek:

    I actually find it really cute!!! like one time a friend of mine tripped over this lil crack on the ground and she just squatted there for a few minutes, because 1)she was embarrassed 2)she kinda found it funny like I did.
    also just the fact that we were very normally walking was a plus since I would also have tripped and been the one laughed at, because when I walk with someone I'll usually be talking and not paying attention

    I would say don't overthink, but I still remember falling out in my seat when I was like nine so-
    I would go on with my life and then in a random time sometime in the future, I'll remember it... Like now.

    Well, I either pretend I didn't see, crack a joke, or help. It depends on who the person that tripped is and whether they got hurt or not! When I myself trip, I make a squawking sound and then laugh/chuckle. It invites others to laugh with you rather than at you and removes any potential awkwardness or embarrassment.

    Also, some people laugh not because they find it funny but because the suddenness of it triggers the nervous laugh reaction! So THEY may feel embarrassed/awkward about laughing when they didn't mean to, so preemptively laughing yourself is a win-win for all parties involved!

    I've never laughed, just felt bad for people, but not to the point that I think about them later. It just feels bad to see someone in pain. And it's especially bad if it's an old person.

    I laugh at myself when I trip. But usually it doesn’t seem like the people around me care when I fall.

    Never found it funny. At most I just get worried if the person fell... If they didn't fall, then I just feel a bit relieved that nothing happened.

    I never laugh at someone if they fall or some shit. I usually just go up to em and ask em if their ok or off my hand to help em stand up.
