Im okay laughing around my family, but around friends or work I try not to, or at least keep it muffled. I found myself laughing the other day at work and when I realised I was, quickly stopped myself... It's not that I dont want ppl to see me laugh, its that im self concious of the sound of my laugh...

I went to a comedy gig last night and found it really strange. On the one hand I felt odd laughing didnt want my friends to hear me, but on the other hand i didnt want to be the weird girl not laughing at a comedy gig. cant win!

 

I have mastered silent laughing, though I do try to make a noise sometimes. I think it stems more from constantly making jokes all through my school years during the lessons while the teacher was talking.

 

i've learned to make a straight face when something is funny. one time my teacher made a joke in class while talking to me and everyone was laughing and i was the only one that was looking at him :blank and he commented, "you never laugh don't you?" i just shrug it off and didn't bother to answer his question.

 

What is it with teachers singling out pupils in order to ridicule them? I have read this a lot on this forum.
