You laugh too much....according to whom?

I say: laugh when you feel like laughing! Then laugh some more!

how can i focus and don`t laugh

Just today my boss was explaining us how we can use laughter as a manipulation gun. She explained that if in a group of people we laugh at the jokes of some people and ignore the jokes of the others, the second group will feel very offended and will try to will our heart over. I thought this was wrong. Laughter is like air, it's free, it flows and it's unlimited

Interestingly enough, I wrote on this subject in my blog today.

Laughter is good, but if some people feel uncomfortable with it, I wonder what is going on for them.

Okay, if that's where you're headed then..Is there a way for you to not find things funny? Maybe you could start to identify yourself as a serious person.

That worked for me when I went back to being vegetarian. I kept telling myself, "I am a vegetarian, I am a vegetarian."

I tend to laugh alot when I am nervous. Maybe that's the actual cause? People I hung out with always thought I laughed too loud... I tried not laugh as loud. Then I just thought "screw this" and decided to hang out with other people who didn't complain about my laugh.

Problem solved.

Watch "Kendra" people were always commenting on her laugh that it's so loud etc. Now it's like one of her signatures.. they even have her laugh in the opening part of her show.

You think too much about what others think of you. I know people that laugh whenever other people laugh. You're just a spreader of happiness IMO.

inSomniaLA,

Sound's like you've got the problems of a king. I'd say go with it, as long as you're not laughing at someone dying or something like that, laugh whenever your heart tells you to, and Jeff's right, laughter is contagious, I'm sure just your laughter alone has helped spread some joy.

Since you laugh a lot, one thing I would recommend is to go to an open mic night for stand up comics. If those guys hear you laughing in the background, I guarantee that you'll make their day, maybe even their week.

i`m talking about something like:
somebody is telling a sad story and the name of one person is for example Dick-Son...

I laugh at that thing,but it`s a story about death for example..you know what i mean?

I would probably laugh at something like that to. I think you shouldn't worry about it.

Laughing is a reaction and it's hard to control. I tried to control it and couldn't then I finally started to see the people that I hung out with as judgemental and contolling of me. So I hung out with other people who didn't seem to care about me laughing.

The other day at work someone was telling me about something they lost which was extremely important to them.

The person said that they had received two messages (weeks apart) that the item was found, but every time they went to retrieve it from the lost and found no one in that office had any clue about what he was talking about.

I burst out laughing at the game of hide-and-seek the universe is playing with this guy...but immediately apologized because he obviously was quite distressed.

I got to laugh and he appreciated my apology...

Good advice Angela. Hahahhahhahhhahhahahhaaaaaaa! Laughing is so good for you. You can't possibly be doing it too much, unless you're laughing at a funeral. That's probably a bridge too far.
