I didn't know what category this would go into so I guessed, hope I got it right.
Anyways, I have a problem, atleast I think I do.
I ughh laugh to much. It doesn't sound that bad, just a happy kid. The thing is, I'm not happy :|.
If I fail a test, I laugh. I was about to fail math, I laughed. If someone shows me alot of emotion and starts to cry, I laugh.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not mean. It seems like it buut, I can't help it, I laugh to cover up things/feelings.
My friends if they cry infront of me they know by know that I don't do it to be mean, they understand.
Just, I don't. And, neither would other people.
I don't find when people are upset funny, espically the people close to me. It's just automatic reaction.
So, tell me, Am I screwed up?

I didn't notice how many there actually were. . Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health? Raldo answered Saturday August 23 2008, 6:06 pm: No. In fact, laughing is a very normal thing for some people... especially when it's inappropriate. I know many people that laugh when it clearly isn't the right time. It's their way of coping with what is going on around them.
I can understand why you might want to rid yourself of this habit (and the good news is you can), but keep in mind why it is you're laughing. Are you only laughing in serious moments? Are you laughing uncontrollably, or out of anxiety from being nervous? Do you laugh at the news when natural disasters kill hundreds?
Asking yourself these things may help you realize why it is you're laughing.
There is a bunch of tips on how to stop yourself from laughing when you know you shouldn't be. My personal favorite is #12, the reverse psychology bit. [ Raldo's advice column | Ask Raldo A Question ]
heybbylovee answered Saturday August 23 2008, 6:06 pm: no. you probably just do it out of nervousness because your body isn't sure how else to react. when you feel the urge to laugh at an inappropriate time, then think of the most SAD thing you can and try to concentrate on it. or maybe you just need to laugh it ALL out. like hang out with a few friends and just laugh it alll out. i know when i don't laugh for a long time, it builds up and i start cracking up at the worst times. so try those two [ heybbylovee's advice column | Ask heybbylovee A Question ]
