We all love to laugh because it is said that laughter is the best medicine. There are many of us who just give a smile, when they hear something funny or humorous, some of us give a light laughter and some of us give a roaring laughter, without bothering who is around us.
In which category would you keep yourself, do you believe in just smiling or you laugh out loud, hearing a funny joke or anecdote?

No doubt laughing is good for us. Yes, we should try our best to remain happy and laughter is one of the sources of our happiness. Do you laugh out loud when you hear a joke?

Please amplify and elaborate when you laugh out loud and when you laugh in a low tone.

@Drosophila It all depends upon the funny event or incident, which makes you laugh out loud.

@dpk262006 I usually smirk to myself when I think of something funny, usually to my own amusement. I usually laugh out loud when it was something funny said by someone..
But my threshold for laugh is quite high

@amitkokiladitya - It is good to know that you don't mind laughing out loudly and probably when you laugh out loud you don't mind who all are around you. Laughter is the best bet to de-stress ourselves and I believe that we should not miss any opportunity to laugh.

@amitkokiladitya - I do not miss any opportunity to laugh specially when I am at home. I love humor and jokes and do not miss any occasion to share jokes with others.
Sometimes I keep laughing and laughing on a funny anecdote and my wife would say - Have you gone crazy, you are laughing and laughing?
In office, if people are around me, I go for restricted laughter.

A good laughter is a therapy and can do miracles. When we laugh our body release endorphins Hormone which helps us to relieve from pain. Laughter improves our mood.
I laugh loud.

Yes, you are right laughter works as a stress buster and I am of the opinion that we shouldn't miss any opportunity to laugh out loud.
It is great to know that you laugh out loud. When you laugh out loud do you care about people around you?

@Bodyandbrain Of course when we laugh .....laughter comes to us spontaneously and normally we don't control it
However, some people become conscious and restrict their flow of laughter, when they feel there are many people around them.

I like to think I'm of both categories - I smile and laugh A LOT. I don't even know how to hold back laughter - if it's funny, it's my instant reaction to laugh . . . and laugh hard to the point of tears if it's truly that hilarious. 1 person likes this

The way you interact here on mylot I also hold the same view that you laugh out a lot in real life and you love to laugh on the slightest provocation.
If you cannot hold back your laughter, it is good because the more we laugh, more positive we feel.
So keep laughing.

@much2say One of my cousins (sister) is like you, she keeps on laughing on the slightest provocation and even when she herself is narrating an incident. It is fun to be with her.
I am sure your laughing habit makes other happy and they love to be with you in your company.

Oh yes, laughing out loud is definitely in my nature

To me, laughter is like a sneeze or cough . . . nearly impossible to hold it in .

So when you hear a funny joke, you do not mind laughing out loud. Actually, laughter is contagious, if we see others laughing (who are around us) we also start laughing. Apparently, your office colleagues are jovial and full of humor and you get plenty of opportunities to laugh.

It means that you feel comfortable laughing out loud if you are among friends. Yes, it is wiser on our part to restrict our laughter, if we are at a public place.

@Julie555 - May be soft voice has some connection with light laughter. Strictly speaking, when we are in a gathering we should laugh in a low tone, so as not to disturb others.

Yes, you are right that laughter is the best medicine. Tickling someone could generate lot of laughter not only for the targeted person but the person who is tickling.
In our childhood, we used to tickle our friends.

Yes, laughing out loud while watching a comedy show is the best bet. We watch comedy shows on TV to entertain ourselves and so as to laugh as much as possible. We feel better after watching comedy shows.
