Q: If something bad happens to someone then I laugh. I know in my mind that it is bad but I can't control it.
Q:

2. I heard in a hadith that Moosa (alaihis salaam) was dark in complexion (black or something). Will it mean that making fun of someone who's black because he is black like indirectly laughing at Moosa (alaihis salaam) too.
Q: I understand that it is a sin to discuss one's sin with a friend due to it showing a lack of shame.

How should I handle these conversations despite already trying to give da'wah? Do I get sins also for indulging or contributing to this conversation since it might be displeasing to Allah?
