Not laughing anymore

Is it weird that I never laugh at all? Like, barely even giggle? I'll admit, I've never laughet that much, but there have been a few instances where I used to laugh out loud. But recently, I just don't laugh at anything - even at stuff I found really funny in the past. It's just a phase I'm going through, maybe? Am I just not in the mood? Just thought I'd share this out.. I know it's stupid, but still

No, thats not stupid at all! I've noticed that with myself occasionally and stuff that Ive use to laugh at I just don't laugh anymore. I no expert of course, but maybe its a chemical imbalance of being depressed at that time lack of serotonin. Not sure, but good post Thanks for sharing!

Thanks I don't know if that's the reason... I don't even know if I have depression (never diagnosed), so I can't tell :/

You are just not in the mood. See what there is going on your life that got you down.

I guess simple answers are really the correct ones Yeah, that could be the reason alone.. just not the best period for me. Just wanted to know if there was someone who had an experience like this

Most of the time when I laugh these days it is a pretend laugh to lessen the seriousness of something I just said, when it appears the other person thinks it's worse than I did. On some rare instances, I'll get tickled by the slightest thing and laugh till I cry and it's not really about how funny whatever happened was but more so it was a moment I was capable of laughing I think. Oddly enough, those tears of laughter have become tears of sadness at times. It is my belief that there are little windows of time that open up where we can feel things we aren't used to reacting to, like something funny for example. Those little windows can let anything through, which I think is why sometimes laughter may be suppressed, as maybe we remember some other time when the laughter turned to other negative emotions before the window could be closed again. Just my rambling 2 cents.

I don't laugh much. I wonder if some people hold the muscles of their diaphragm more tightly making it less likely to release laughter. I don't know.

It is easier for me to laugh with smilies. I can't even image laughing like this:

"Even what I found funny in the past" That's what worries me.Maybe your current life situation is affecting your sense of humor. Pretty hard to laugh if you're in deep stress. I do know one element of humor is surprise. Is it possible you didn't laugh because you heard or seen it before. I know many stand ups make fun of people with mental illness. OTOH many comics show schizoprhenic and/or bipolar tendencies as per a study from a prestigious UK U. I think it was either Cambridge or Oxford. I possess a sense of humor unless I am severely depressed and/or stressed.

No really its not stupid I can remember laughing so hard tears came out of my eyes . are u motovated or ambitous are u tense all the time I don't laugh I don't even watch tv or football what do they say laughter is the best medicine yeah i hope u can laugh again

Its not stupid and your not weird

Thank you all Well... it is true I'm having a difficult period... so that's probably why and school started, so that doesn't help..

I'm just thinking about it more and more.. it seems I just can't laugh.. not even smile That is so weird.. it's not exactly a problem, but it makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with me
