Reply to comment by slfnflctd in How much a person laughs in conversation appears to be a stable trait associated with being relatable, and is not necessarily reflective of enjoyment. by [deleted]

I laugh and smile a ton in casual conversation. I'm genuinely not being fake, I'm just a smiling giggle-at-everything typa person. Like my brain is constantly looking for any excuse for me to laugh. I do it alone also, just not as frequently.

Same! Sometimes I can appreciate this quality. I’ll just be sitting there, think of something funny, and start laughing. I’m never bored. Other times I hate myself for it because I think people would take me more seriously if I didn’t smile and laugh as much. I’m intelligent enough that people theoretically should listen to me but no one wants to listen to the person who doesn’t perceive everything as serious.

As someone who can be quite serious i think the grass may just be greener here. Life is short. Joy is the greatest gift. Anyone of worth will see your worth. Keep laughing!

Oh man, that made me cry. I just lost my dad this week so am a little emotional. You’re right, thank you. There’s room for all of us, we can balance each other out.
