How often do you laugh?

[DishLady]

Someone mentioned that I tend to smile and laugh often... He claimed "every third sound you make on any given day is a laugh" almost as if it was a complaint. But he's a grumpy sort of guy (since his ex broke things off w him) and so I let this sort of comment slide.

But I notice that he and a few other people are always drawn in to see why I'm laughing or what I'm so happy about. (Usually it's just that I'm in good company, so we're all having fun.)

How often do you laugh? Does your laughter draw others into your circle?

Keep on laughing, DishLady, and everyone else, too!
Let's have some fun tonight!

I laugh pretty much every time I find something to be humorous.
Yep, I laugh just about that often.

The giggles, once begun, can go on endlessly for days depending on whether or not I've had my meds.
On the first day of Kindergarten, I was dubbed "Gigglebox" by the prettiest girl in my class.

When I laugh, people do seem to be drawn to my laughter, unless, of course, I'm alone.
It'd be a bit much to expect non-present people to join into laughter to which they've not been exposed.
(Groan #1, #2, #3, or #4? You be the judge.)

That thought brings to mind desperately addicted-to-laughter standup comedians working an empty room.
They use a piped-in laugh track.
(More groans?)

Laughter, in a cartoon, is "drawn" into the scene.
(A slight chuckle? Anyone?)
(Crickets?)
(Aww, come on, folks!)

When laughing on a mezzanine, people below me and sometimes above me are drawn into my laughter, as well as those people who are around me.

(Might as well just keep groaning, friends. The really bad jokes are gonna continue.)

People outside, if windows are open, may be drawn "in" to my laughter.
(I'm groaning at that one.)

People inside of me...
Nope, wait just a second there, that inside joke doesn't work out too well for us guys.
(Let's hold the groans for a second here. The thought is just too painful.)

I do know of gals, though, who can draw my laughter as they laugh when I'm, ahem, inside.
The physical contractions from their laughter can sometimes draw contractions of another sort from me, as well.

I guess that about covers it.
The subject, not the laughter.
Laughter can't be covered.

No, that's not correct.
Laughter can be "covered", by laughter cover artists.

Which see also, the (in) famous, oft-used, "I Love Lucy" originated, "Uh-Oh" laughter sound bite.

Yes, I do happen to be a bit manic this evening.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Thanks Gigglebox! <3

[nolabels]

Aww!
I'm tearin' up a bit, here.
Lol.

Thanks back to you, DishLady!
No one has called me Gigglebox since pretty little Melanie used to over 60 years ago!

Thanks for the inspirational question. 😁

[DishLady]

I'd say it was overdue, then. Glad to borrow the title she dubbed you. :)

I don't know about inspirational, but I prefer laughing to grumbling so I'll always find a reason to at least chuckle even if I'm going through something... especially if I'm going through something. It's just how I am.

Thanks for the great answer!

I laugh to myself all day. I'm always thinking of silly stuff to pass the time. For instance if I'm good shopping or anything else boring like that, I imagine funny stuff happening all around me in the supermarket, and I'll start laughing for no reason lol.

[DishLady]

That's totally me as well. See something simple and just grin or laugh about it.

I laugh often but selectively.

Laughter isn’t just reaction, it’s resonance.

I laugh at wit, intelligence, authenticity, and moments that spark genuine joy.

Noise, pretense, or superficiality rarely earn it.

Quality over quantity, a laugh should land, not just fill space.

[RandomGirl42]

I giggle a lot at just about anything. I am also one of those who giggles out of nervousness at the worst possible times. "Random! You know what you did! Do you think this is funny, young lady!", "no" *giggle*giggle*

[OlderAndWiser]

One of my rules for a relationship is that, when we get in bed at night, and we are talking a few minutes before going to sleep, we need to find something to laugh about together.

[HawkPerception]

I laugh a pretty average amount I'd say. But most of the time these days, it comes from scrolling through social media and finding funny videos

[Spencer10]

Every day basically. There is so much about life and people thats hilarious.

[Darkest-Knight]

As often as I can. But it doesn't draw anyone in.

[CubaPirate]

Not nearly often enough on these troubled times

[exitseven]

I laugh when I think something is funny.

[Cidknee]

Cece makes me laugh many times everyday. 🫩

[roy_ricky09]

When it's time to laugh 😂

[fish5505_87]

All the time, every day!
