Is/Can Laughter Be The Best Medicine?

Question

Ever been having a bad day or just feeling kind of glum? And then someone or something makes you laugh, sometimes a little and sometimes so hard you almost laughed up a lung?  I usually feel much better surrounded by people or talking to people that can really make me laugh.  So I do believe laughter sometimes can be the best medicine.  So, remember to laugh, it'll make you feel so much better! And, special thanks to all you GaGers that really make me laugh. You all know who you are!😘

Yes because laughter is something that can help with both physical and non physical issues. I always compare humor as the inverse of anxiety. Anxiety takes a mole hill and turns it into an insurmountable mountain, but humor takes that mountain and shrinks it down to a mole hill. I knew a guy who had a brain tumor and I visited him the day before his surgery. Every one else was solemn, I on the other hand made jokes about it. As we where leaving he stopped me, and thanked me because of all people he was happiest to see me because I was the one that made such a terrifying prospect of having his brain operated on and potentially dying into something seemingly so trivial. Humor is the only thing that can do that.

Abso positively lutely yes - laughter is the best medicine. As is making someone laugh - it's a good mix - laughing WITH (caps on purpose as big dif with AT someone) and just having lots of maybe at times silly or sophomoric fun but just keeping those youthful fun flows flowing - amen - no doubt - you speak - the toots and sluts truth here :)

LOL :)

Yes. And you're one of the GAGers who crack me up. Thanks. It's a welcome break.
I enjoy all kinds of humor. Dark, raunchy, sarcastic, or just plain silly all work for me.

I spend a lot of time getting news on social media. There is so much wrong with this country and so many horrors happening in the world, most of which are caused by the U. S. I take it very seriously but I don't let if knock me off kilter. My sense of humor helps. Sometimes all I can do is laugh at he absurdity and irony.

Yes it does extend your life span. Studies have shown that extroverts tend to live longer than introverts. People with social lives tend to be happier and live longer. Loneliness shortens up your lifespan as if you smoked a pack of cigars a day. Without people around you, you will have nothing to laugh about.

mrwhite333 · Answer

Sometimes it's the only medicine. The ability to laugh in dark times... To still find the humor in a bad situation is the only thing that gets you out of the funk.

Jjpayne · Answer

I agree with you it can be. But not in all instances.. I mean when you cut your leg open... laughter's not going to give you stitches but it will leave you in stitches :) I hope Im not the only one that has heard of that term …. :)
