"Apparently not a lot of people laugh out loud because of funny memories, or they don't laugh by themselves a lot? I don't know. But it's not uncommon for me to be walking down the street and then suddenly start laughing."
OMG- I do this all the time! Sometimes I'll even replay scary things that have happened recently and I've actually almost screamed in public... that's really fun.
I've actually had to bite my tongue or at least turn away from people. People never get this. Before I realized this was unacceptable and I'd laugh, someone would say, "what's so funny" and I'd tell them, in detail (of course!) about what was so funny... and usually its the kind of thing that you really had to be there for and usually has nothing to do with what was being said when I exploded into laughter....
Sorry, on to the actual post. People always think I'm "sad" or "lost in space" (although technically I usually am the latter) Really I'm just thinking... about whatever it is I think about. Usually the jerkistan that interrupts me with their mindless yapping about my emotional well being distracts me so badly I can never get back to my thoughts... Never sad though, the rare times I am really sad no one would know because I can't get past that whole "how are you" question with the "I'm fine." answer. I can watch a really funny comedy show and never crack a smile, but sometimes I'll read a thread on here that gets me rolling on the floor. don't know how I can be "off" one minute and "on" the other.... tres bizarre!
