when someone dies, sometimes i smile or laugh unintentionally.
i don't mean to laugh or smile when someone dies at all. it's sad, and i mean no happiness towards it. i just can't help but to laugh or smile, even if it's sad.
today, when i heard michael jackson died, it was really sad, and i felt bad, but ... i laughed ... and i have *no* idea why i react like this. i'm not heartless, but i'm just hoping it's a normal emotion / reaction, while others cry or get upset ... i just smile unintentionally. i don't think i'd last at a funeral.. i have no idea why i react like this.

People react differently to things, I often find myself smiling at inappropriate times when I don't find it funny at all. It's a nervous reaction.
A few years ago, I was on a school trip to France and the teachers had to get us together to tell us about the London Tube bombings (I'm from the UK). It obviously wasn't funny, but my friends and I found ourselves laughing.

I used to be that way, although when I laughed or smiled upon hearing of someone's death, it was a nervous reaction for me.
Some people use it as a way to keep from getting sad & as trying to keep positive. I think if you do go to a funeral though, you really need to restrain yourself from laughing/smiling because people more than likely will take it the wrong way. :(

Laughing and smiling is your way to keep from frowning or crying. Everyone has a different way of coping with things they don't want to deal with. I tend to turn even the most traumatic of events into a joke. It's not because I'm an asshole (or is it?) but because that's my way of dealing with it.
If it were someone close to you, rather than a celebrity, it may seem a bit cold to others. But you can't help it. Let out your feelings. It's better to laugh at the wrong time, rather than bottle it up and explode all at once.

Hmm, maybe you just think pain and death are funny?
I wouldn't think anything of it, because I know of some people that would laugh, too.
Just, if you go to a funeral, try to get yourself together and control yourself.
