Okay so sometimes when I am angry, I start to laugh and it really bothers me, I've tried looking it up but when other people have asked this question they say that they think the situation they're in is funny but I will laugh when my blood is absolutely boiling and i hate it so much because no one takes me seriously and they think that i am joking around when i am extremely pissed offf. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???? (oh and to anyone who read my last post about fear/paranoia/whatever it was, i was over-exaggerating a bit, i don't carry a knife around my house, that only happened twice and I dont get as afraid as I described it.) (but the mind reading thing still really bothers me).

You are probably employing a defense mechanism.

Overwhelming anxiety is probably at the root of it, so you laugh to gain some sense of control of the situation.

This is an excellent article on what to do (and not do) when someone makes you angry:

The emotion (anger) has to come out and you don't know how to do it "safely" but you do know how to laugh so that's how you relieve the pressure. I use to burst into tears when I was angry because otherwise I felt like I would "kill" someone and knew that wasn't a good idea? If you are feeling helpless because you don't know how to respond but know you need a response and are aware things are really messed up, laughter might happen. I would find a therapist and work on your anger issues and how to express anger and how to interact with others who are angry with you, etc.

I've done that myself.

I've never known of someone laughing whilst being angry. I hope it's something you can resolve.

I've seen it used as a defense mechanism, when anger is overwhelming. I used to cry, yet I've known of others and probably have myself, smiled through the pain.
I agree about working through the anger with a combination of therapy, books and literature and support from others that can relate and offer guidance and support.
