Some stupid meme will appear in my head while I’m in public and a stupid grin will force itself into my face and obviously I don’t want people to look at me and think I’m crazy, or worse ask what I’m laughing about and the only thing that was on my mind was “born to shit, forced to wipe”.
Don’t change.
When people see you smiling, it will make them happy by-proxy.
Be proud, laugh loud.
Farts are funny. Will always be funny. It’s the follow-through that catches one unawares and dampens the mood.
Don’t stop laughing at stupid shit. The world gets very serious very quickly all on its own when you’re looking and when you’re not. If you can retain some ability to laugh, you’ll be much better off.
Am old fart: early Gen X.
However, it is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt.
Enjoy it. As long as you aren’t busting out laughing at a funeral this sounds like a gift.
Doesn’t sound like there is anything wrong mate. Keep grinning at the world. Smiling is infectious and we damn well need it!
You wouldn’t have happened to grow up watching a lot of Beavis and Butthead did you?
It’s the moments they don’t laugh that are truly the most outrageous
Tooke a bit to explain to my kid why I was giggling when I realized the spirit of B&B was alive in a show he was watching.
Please do not stop, you are doing it right.
Smile all the time and then people can’t tell. Plus people will find you more friendly.
Ew. No. I’ve known people who are happy, and giggly all the time.
I want it to be legal to strangle them.
If someone annoys you by being happy all the time, you may want to reevaluate your life.
Chill
Don’t stop
Don’t stop. Use it as a litmus test. If they don’t get it, they don’t deserve your company. Yes even at funerals.
Wear a mask. Or a helmet.
A batman mask.
Or a Wolverine mask so you can be two Batmen kissing.
Pleade dont. I mean it. Some time ago i was remembering back to a time when I was funny and it fucking shocked me. I used to make people laugh and laughed much more myself. Then over time life happened. Years of work, illness, family, relationships, the world. It was such a shitty feeling to see how the cynicism and demoralizing environment consumes us.
I don’t want to go to an absolute like ‘ignore what everyone thinks’ because realistically it doesn’t work that way, but you should not strive to change your perception or internal wiring, but to be situationally aware when required. That’s what I think.
Also let me tell you that I still get a little joy when seeing someone laughing or smiling in public, which I think is a good sign. Only the more deeply jaded will see that as a negative thing and give it importance. Five minutes later nobody will be thinking about it but you will still be a joyful person.
I think it’s about staying focused on what you’re doing. Pushing out irrelevant thoughts and focusing on what’s going on is a skill you can work on. In my mind, when something like that is making me giggle, the only thing that helps is not thinking about it. I’m bad at dealing with this too though.
I have a secret for you.
Whenever you let out one of those little laughs in public, EVERYONE in earshot is wondering if you were laughing at them and is subtly checking if it was them or someone else worth laughing at.
In those moments, your the last thing on people’s minds.
Now I feel bad for the people whose anxiety I accidentally triggered…
Omg, when I was still in school, I was always wondering if classmates were laughing at some stupid tiktok or laughing at me.
It could have been both though…
This has happend to me my entire life
People hate me because of it
They are sad and edgy
I’m happy and laughing
Take the win OP
Take the laughpill, be happy
“Sometimes I just think funny things.”
If they insist,
But what were you thinking that’s so funny?
“No,that is it. It’s a quote from Arthur, (do a drunk voice this time) sometimes I just think funny things.”
It’s not that funny but it’s clean and reusable.
