What makes you laugh?
Laughing – A form of de-stressing activity. To which some may find “distressing”?
Or perhaps I’m just a little unbalanced.
However, back to the prompt, I would laugh at almost anything actually.
Many would ask me on why do I laugh so easily or on almost anything. Honestly, I have no proper answer for it. Perhaps, the easily justifiable answer would be that it has become a form of my default reaction towards answering people.
Firstly, it softens my expression, thus making myself seem more approachable (or so I think). Sadly, that also means that sometimes people would not take me seriously. Next, it lightens the situation and prevents a tensed situation from escalating. However, it may also flip the other way around which may further escalate the situation instead as me laughing may deem that I do not take them seriously.
Sometimes, when I am being thrown an insult, I do react by first laughing about it, as a shield for myself and preventing myself from being hurt or at least giving myself some time before digesting the issues.
Then, there are times, when I am lost in my own world, which is most of the time, I would suddenly remember something funny or find something amusing and start laughing to myself. At times, it may escalate into a hearty laughter to which some might find distressing.
Nevertheless, after a good laugh, I would usually feel better, as they say, it releases endorphins, a “feel good” hormone and thus, “laughter is the best medicine”.
