Laughing at inappropriate times

Question

When:

My friend dropped her i-pod and it got really scratched

My friend twisted her ankle badly

Lost late at night with just friend and me

Being followed by this freaky man (I found this REALLY funny)

Going too fast in a car

Thought I lost my passport

My brother cut himself really bad

My brother had a fit (also found hilarious)

Friend nearly run over by a car

I was nearly run over by a car

Why do I find these situations so funny?

******Should point out not always the same friend

Answer 1

maybe its just a nervous habit-i have this habit and whenever i feel like im going to laugh i think of something else or if i have a drink with me ill drink it to prevent from laughing

Answer 2

I would either guess that it reminds u of something else,or it's a nervous thing (like u laugh when u get nervous or startled). My 16 yr daughter smiles like that too. Just tell ur friends when u get startled or shocked, suprised or scared u laugh (before it happens). They'll understand! Then try to quietly work on it. Alot of ppl do it. It'll get better with age.

Answer 3

I do this too. Pretty much everything not funny seems to be funny. Like my mother telling me a story about her walking in on her grandfather and a prostitute..Well, you know. She was 6, and apparently it was traumitizing. I thought it was hilarious.

Don't know why I do this. Maybe something to cover up fear or embarassment..?

Answer 4

cause youre retarded

Answer 5

maybe you were just trying to ease the pressure. people do that so the mood won't get so serious. but don't do it too often especially at times that everyone doesn't have time for laughs

Answer 6

You're a walking good-luck charm, ain'tcha?

jk

Answer 7

Because when these things happen they make you nervous, it is a natural reaction.

Answer 8

No, these situations are not funny.

Maybe you laugh because you are stressed deep inside.

Answer 9

Could it be irony?

Answer 10

Lots of people have that reaction, it is caused by nerves. I know some people who laugh at funerals, they cannot help it.

Answer 11

Because you're a dumb *****

Answer 12

Sociopath?

Answer 13

it's most likely a nervous laugh, i do it all the time.

:]  

Answer 14

Who's to say when and when it is not appropriate to laugh? If you find a situation funny I think it is okay to laugh, though I don't know why you'd be laughing at people hurting themselves. Hope you don't laugh at funerals either.  

Answer 15

This kind of thing always happens to me but I've noticed that I tend to giggle or laugh when I get nervous.

Think about it do you really find these things funny?

Answer 16

You probably have psychiatric problems. A characteristic of some mental illnesses is laughter at inappropriate times. You might want to get some help for that so your friends won't dump you.

  

Answer 17

i laugh a lot so i gave this illness a name i call it the giggles

the giggles can be caused by:

being bored so your body entertains itself by laughing

having to much fun and your body builds up so much energy it has to be let out by laughing

you lay around all day(like me) and your energy is building up for days so it makes up for it by laughing

This is normal dont think of it as wrong i have the urge to laugh at inaooropriate times too

a cure for the giggles:

is exercising

having fun

or to just laugh and you will laugh so much you get tired of it

Hope i helped :)

Answer 18

hahahahahahaha i was crackin up reading this because me and my friend do the same thing lol... its just seeing the light in every situation... its better to see the gass as half full then empty...

Answer 19

have to agree with you those are some hilarious events and its only natural for some people to react the way you did...if only you could react not too fast atleast to think of how you're going to make the other person feel by laughing out loud will save you from hurting the other person's feelings...  

Answer 20

Hey, at least you don't take life too seriously! Gotta give you that much. Although, there are plenty of people out there that take everything entirely too seriously, and might not find these situations half as hillarious as you do. I say, keep on laughing. Unless someone specifically gets offended, what can you do?

Answer 21

i myself laugh at everything and its because thats how i react to bad situations or if im nervous. which is probably why you laugh in bad situations, its just how you react to things.

instead of crying or screaming like some people do you tend to laugh it off. it is something you should work on because others might not realize why your laughing, like my friends and family already know that if im laughing im nervous or scared about something.    

Answer 22

Okay NONE are funny. Sorry.

Answer 23

LMAO that's all hilarious, no you should really stop laughing at these things before someone gets really P'd off at you.

Answer 24

Do you really think it's funny or do you just laugh? Maybe that's your reaction to stressful stuff? or maybe you just have an odd sense of humor?

Answer 25

Hold your breath pucker your lips like your thinking and swallow air. Works every time.
