Laughing

Has anyone ever figured out what it truly is?...A emotion?, a trigger?...The only reason i posted here is because i know that acid has a tendency to make one think about things that are normaly not thought about...i just want to know if its a emotion or a trigger or something along those lines

:cheers2:

 

usually a subconscious reaction to insecurity or fear

 

laughing? lol

 

yeah, laughing

 

Wow, i literally learn something new everyday...Thanks sir

 

don't just take my word for it.
go observe others laughing
but most importantly
go observe yourself laughing
and understand how and why

 

iam allright lol

 

laughing is so odd when you think about it.

 

I've laughed many times purely for happiness, a good laugh is a powerful thing. Although, chuckling and restrained laughter is a nervous habit for some people.

 

I only laugh when iam stoned, other wise iam quiet, lately ive been trying to talk tho

 

Some of the species of monkeys and apes that are closely related to humans laugh too.

 

Usually!?

Surely you don't think that most laughing is a reaction to fear or insecurity...?

Watching a comedy? seeing a comedian? hearing a good joke? Hanging around with your mates?

Maybe its just me but i would say 99%+ of my laughter has nothing whatsoever to do with fear and insecurity...

 

agreed.

 

Hahaha I'm so insecure and scared right now, it's fucking hysterical.

 

laughter, Ive noticed for me and most people triggers endorphins to be released leading you away from a situation or further leading you into one. ive also noticed that when im bored. my mind randomly thinks of a good or funny incident that happened within the last few days. and i don't react in laughter, but a blissful moment and just smile.

i believe its the same concept when we laugh, its almost like laughter is life's comma.

just what i think of it. ive had thought of that before but never in writing.

ive never tried lsd so it might be a little different to control. but i know ive let my mind loose and let go even being sober and i can relate to a lot of topics here.

its all about releasing endorphins tho! to maximize the experience.

 

yea I haven't done it either. it's fun to discuss topics with people who have done psychedelics, like all my roommates. they keep saying that the way my brain works I should try them, but i don't feel ready.

all I have to say about laughter is that its strange and I absolutely love it

however, sometimes I think of something REALLY funny in a situation that is not funny at all... and somehow I usually manage to hold it in. it's pretty fucking funny when I can't hold it in though haha.

 

I don't think it, I know it.
Fear, insecurity, or some sort of escapist bliss, which really is just another form of insecurity.
For someone's laughter to represent pure happiness, they would have to be truly happy, which is a much more rare state than most of us would like to believe.

 

One wonders - if you really were secure, then why would you feel the need to post this sarcastic post intended to demean me?

 

So youre (neodude) gonna try to say that a baby's laughter is because of insecurity? Or when you are out of breath from laughing so hard when joking around with an old friend?

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people in this world who are truly happy. The fact that you think no one is truly happy says a lot about yourself.

 

To be quite honest, I don't know what a baby's laughter would represent. They aren't even fully human in the sense of mental capacity, freedom of expression, and growth. It's a completely different subject when talking about babies, and I'm not really qualified to say what a baby's laughter would indicate beyond speculation.
However, when we are talking about matured individuals, I don't see a difference between idle giggling and laughing so hard when joking around with an old friend. If they both arise from insecurity, then they are both false laughter, regardless of the disparity in intensity.

I never said "no one". I'd love to meet one, and I do realize they are out there. All I said is that true happiness is a much more rare state than people would like to believe. I've never came across a person who was truly happy though (and maybe this will clarify things, but I am approaching this from a spiritual sense.) And I've noticed that the people who try the hardest to convince the world around them of their own happiness are often those that are the most distraught.
