I keep hearing about how you shouldn’t laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.

I hate when people laugh at my jokes, let alone someone laughs at their own. Laughter is such a horrible noise.

Laughter is also highly contagious, so you better watch out. There have been reports of entire office floors and classrooms succumbing to uncontrollable fits of giggles, causing productivity rates to plummet. In some cases, the laughter epidemic has spread across neighborhoods, turning typically stoic morning commutes into a cacophony of chuckles and snorts. Health authorities are advising to limit exposure to particularly humorous individuals and to steer clear of gatherings where a particularly irrisponsible individual stands on stage aiming to infect everyone in the audience with a severe case of laughter.

Maybe for some but I’ve never laughed due to others laughing. I can’t recall the last time I laughed recently. I tend to avoid it because it’s such an uncomfortable feeling. Like you’ve got hiccups and coughing at the same time. It’s easy to avoid though because it’s not my reaction to things others laugh at.

The first time I thought you were joking, now I am not sure anymore if you could be a really sad person instead.

Sounds truly exceptional. Other people don’t consider it uncomfortable at all.

Fuck that. You should or shouldn’t do whatever you want. I laugh at my own jokes all the time, even when I am alone, or haven’t said the joke out loud. People find it much more off-putting if you just randomly start laughing.

Anyone who has a problem with someone laughing at their own jokes either has trauma or is an asshole not worth anyone’s time.
