Also, I found that different people react very differently to teasing. Some people laugh about that, even with high levels of teasing, others are oversensitive even to mild levels of teasing.

The correct thing to do would be not to tease at all, not knowing a priori the effects on the teased subject.

It reminds me of the time Yogananda was with Anandamoy and wrapped a scarf around him and said “Look at the Pasha everyone look at the Pasha” and Anandamoy felt like he’d like to crawl into a corner and hide.
