I'd certainly rather follow you around, rather than someone who was dry & serious. Yuck! On the other hand, a nervous titter can just be annoying. I've been known to do that & it's hideous.

I am also one of those people who laughs when they are nervious or even sometimes when I am scared. <BR/><BR/>I also bust up at times when trying to be serious with my boys, or when they are doing something that I should probably scold them about, but instead it just seems funny. Not always a good thing. <BR/><BR/>I once started laughing hysterically when J, my husband's little brother, walked straight into a wall, hard, at the mall and fell down. He was crying and I couldn't stop laughing. My husband was so embarassed and so was I really, but I just couldn't stop. I was laughing so hard I could barely breath. I think I laughed all the way out to the car. I felt really bad afterwards that I laughed instead of comforting him. <BR/><BR/>Besides laughing at inappropriate times though, laughing is so good for you. It's good to see the humor in every day life. I have a daycare in my home and deal with kids all day, and I wouldn't make it through the first hour if I didn't have a sense of humor!Riahlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525310321786184469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-21296976845577144042009-02-19T15:24:00.000-06:002009-02-19T15:24:00.000-06:00Hey - when my nephew died so very young (he was 20...Hey - when my nephew died so very young (he was 20), we were sitting there just devastated and suddenly my nephew's mother said something and her husband laughed! loud! and it was like a gunshot went off...every head turned in his direction - we talked about it later - it was nervousness and stress and just ...all that!<BR/><BR/>I love a good sense of humor - love to hear people laugh - so I bet I'd like to be around you! :)Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-34174113128664981322009-02-19T13:14:00.000-06:002009-02-19T13:14:00.000-06:00I am a singer.

It's either that or cry. I think laughter can ease the pain of anything and if it is a coping mechanism, so be it. It just makes the coping a little easier to slip into, greases the edges of the hard rock.

But there was just no stopping it!!<BR/><BR/>I also laugh when I am very, VERY frightened!! I remember laughing hysterically as I lost control of my car going around a curve. As I spun (doing about 3 180s), I turned to my husband in the passenger seat and could not stop laughing.
