Inappropriate responses to stressful situations?

Question

I tend to laugh when I should be crying or nervous. I don't like doing it but it happens ALL the time. It makes everyone else think I am insensitive.

For example, when my dog was ran over I couldn't stop laughing. The worst time it happens is when my boyfriend and I are having a fight and can't help but to smile. He thinks I think it's all funny!

It's so stressful!

Why do I do this and what can I do to make it stop?

Answer 1

I do the same!! When I thought I found my mom dead in bed I was LOL like there was no tomorrow... (She was passed out THANK GOD!) But I did the same when I found a dead man...  I freaking laughed and He was rotten but I go back and think about me LOL and I see that it was just like shock or its just the way I react to things. I think its better than freaking out.
