How often do you laugh genuinely in social situations?

Post Reply New Topic

Hardly ever for me I have to say. And if I do ever laugh its much more likely to be because of something I've said than someone else.

In most social situations I'm more likely to laugh because I'm uncertain or awkward, or think I messed up, or someone tried to be funny and I don't think they were but I try to pretend like I did.

And like you said. I might laugh because I think I was funny, but in many social settings I've been the only one.
But when I say things seriously people sometimes laugh, no idea why. It's infuriating.

When I am able to interact in social situations, yes, I can laugh whole heartedly. Unfortunately, it is usually at something that others don't find funny. Mostly, they don't even know why it might be funny and I can't explain it. So mostly I try to keep those laughs inside.

In my case rarely. Sometimes I'll 'laugh' because it seems to be the response that's expected , but it's forced rather than natural .

Sometimes to humor someone

But usually I don't go looking for funny things

Genuinely laugh? Very rarely. The same goes for when I watch comedy on TV. While I hear the people in the audience laughing and cackling at every quip, I'm sitting in my house stone faced because even though things might be mildly amusing, they don't illicit an actual laugh from me very often.

I usually only laugh when talking to someone with a dry cynical humor. Ive only known NT's who can carry it off.

Not at all i think. I always laugh to humor people.

Lil dipshits that laugh a lot and loudly, sometimes, appear to be, on drugs or psychiatric diagnoses

I don't laugh unless I find something truly humorous. I hate television laugh tracks. Most of the dialogue in situation comedies isn't remotely funny.

I am always off to the side in gatherings. But I laugh when someone says something I think is funny. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes out loud.

Really....not too often.

I laugh too much socially. People tell me they enjoy my laugh but I am never sure if that is true. Although as a substitute teacher I get laughed at and mocked on a daily basis. I need a new job where I don't get mocked so much.

Being an extreme introvert with depression and anxiety, I rarely laugh.

I feel most comfortable around my family, so if we're having a get-together, I'll usually laugh at any jokes or funny stories.

It takes a lot to get me to laugh at tv shows, they just don't tickle my sense of humour.

At the shop I volunteer at, the people I work with there are genuinely funny, kind of have to be at some of the donations we get, so I'll laugh occasionally.
