Inappropriate Laughter.

I'm glad he laughed, too.

There was this one time I was at a friend's house eating imported sausage-you know the kind, with the super thick, super greasy skin on it? This was when I was a teen. And I guess some people were smart enough to use a sawing action to cut theirs. Well, I'm the efficient one who just takes the knife and forces it down through the food, to the plate.

So that's what I did with my thick-skinned, greasy imported sausage. At least the part I held with my fork stayed put! As for the other... adios, sausy!

Ok, you had me rotflmbo at Imported sausage and then the flying sausy... I almost wet my pants cause I was lauging so hard.....

Well I don't really want to be immature

I'm usually depressed so my laughing isn't from being happy. Maybe that's why I laugh? I don't like being depressed so my mind brings up funny incidents to make me laugh?

I'll tell you from experience, Depression does some weird things to you.....It makes you cry, it makes you angry, it makes you jealous, sad, frustrated, overly happy (I don't think that's a word, but u get the point).....It's very possible that could be why you start laughing.....You said you are depressed usually....have you talked to anyone about that? Do you know why you are depressed, is there something going on in your life that has you depressed?

I wanna go see a phsychiatrist with this poblem of laughing at the wrong moments! It is horrible and so stressing! I laugh at the stupidest things and when i am nervous. I really want to learn to control it but i cant! I cant read aloud in class or present or answer questions because i start cracking up for no reason! Sometimes, i even burst out in tears and laughter at the same time so people think im crazy! I dont know what is wrong with me but i will literally do ANYTHING to make this go away. Anyone know what to do?

Hi! I always laugh at the wrong reasons. The funniest joke would make me giggle....but seeing my teacher blow his nose would make me start cracking up to the point at which i cant stop! I really want to stop but i dont know how to control it. Also, when im nervous i start laughing. I had to do a presentation in front of class, and i started laughing to a point at which i had to go sit down!:o One day i was in the elevator with my sister and a stranger, and i couldnt stop laughing and they thought i was laughing at them I really wasnt...i didnt know why i laughed. The most embarrasing story was when my family, I, and many other families went to my aunts for Thanksgiving and they asked me to say a toast. I started laughing so hard that i began to cry and i couldnt stop crying. I turned all red and tears just kept on falling!! I really would do ANYTHING to stop so please help...before i visit a psychiatrist next week ...

Thanks

I honestly don't know. Sounds like a nervous reaction.

I found your post about inapproriate laughter because I googled that exact phrase due to the fact that I have this EXACT same problem! I feel it is a manifestation of social anxiety. It could be that your hyper- awareness that certain situations are highly inappropriate for laughing is causing you to do that very thing. Social anxiety, by definition, is an unreasonable fear of being judged negativly by others - particularly those in authority or strangers. You might want to contact a professional to see if this is in fact what you suffer from. Personally, I can totally relate to everything you experience and it can make life quite painful. I even avoid watching comedies or exposing myself to anything humorous if I know I'll have to face anyone in the near future because my mind will summon the one thing that struck me as funny and re-play it causing me to crack up at the worst possible time. I think it is all about anxiety (concious or un-concious) on some level.
