I find all sorts of things hilarious (including inappropriate things) and laugh a lot.

On the other hand, I never cry. In fact, I can't remember ever crying, even when I was an adolescent, and I will surely die before I do so. I suppose I should be sad about this, but I find it rather humorous 8O.

I both laugh and cry often. I got teased as the "sissy sensitive boy" because I would (and still do) start bawling when some horrible thing happened.

That describes me very well. I don't laugh a lot, just occasionally. Although I'm mostly serious, I enjoy some sitcoms, I just don't have any need to actually laugh at them.
True belly laughs occur very rarely. The last one was last winter, before that I can't remember. Years earlier.

I can't say when I last cried, probably last month, thinking of my dog. I occcasionally cry for dead loved ones, even a long time after they're gone. But that is the only thing that makes me cry.

That sounds like just like me in lower primary school. I was always very emotional :roll: It got better over the years though

I'll laugh a fair bit, even during depression I find some things funny. Cryings a weird one. I never seem to be able to cry about bad things happening to me. Maybe deep down I know itll feel better to let it all out, and then since i feel slightly better cos of that thought i wont be able to cry again, but then i feel worse again cos i didnt do it and want to, and so on. Anyone else go through this cycle?

On the other side of the coin, I'll often tear up over things happening to other people or sometimes even parts of movies.

I laugh regularly. My husband is very funny.

I cry when I am overwhelmed, which annoys me, but I can't seem to stop it. I also cry when I am angry. I was raised to think that crying was an acceptable "girl response" to anger or frustration. It's really annoying!

I laugh quite often at things poking fun of stupidity, but very rarely at anything called toilet humor. I also cackle from time to time when amused by my own thoughts.

Unfortunately the only times I've even been close to crying have been the death of my dog, and the death of a few characters in books. Never shed a tear, just had the lump in the throat and strange feeling in my stomach. This is barring pain crying of course.

I hate being sad, I run away from sad things,
delete sad music, there is enough rubbish
in my life I don't need to be sad, its bad enough
that I fall and bust my knee and bawl, can't
control it.

I will however chase happy, I STALK Happy things,
I stalk happy and catch it and hold it and stick
to it like 2 radar magnets with oposit poles facing
each othyer.

I laugh at poop and farts and bums/butts.

I laugh often, maybe once or twice in 2 days. I cry much too often, sometimes everyday of the week, only at home though and always for stupid reasons like someone else using me laptop :oops:

I laugh and I cry all the time. It reminds me of an 80s song. 'I Get So Emotional, Baby'. I don't mind, as I'm quite immature for my age, anyways.
