Some stupid meme will appear in my head while I’m in public and a stupid grin will force itself into my face and obviously I don’t want people to look at me and think I’m crazy, or worse ask what I’m laughing about and the only thing that was on my mind was “born to shit, forced to wipe”.

        These are two types of cartoon sounds when a character snores.

        The “Inside you there are two wolves” is the name of a proverb which began being parodied towards the end of 2018 and through the beginning of 2019. In the original proverb, a grandfather says there are two wolves fighting inside him, an evil one and a good one. His grandson asks, “who will win?” The grandfather replies, “The one you feed.” In parodies, the story is often simplified to “There are two wolves inside you. One is X. The other is X. You are X.” The proverb’s actual origins are murky. It has been attributed to Christian pastor Billy Graham in 1978, as well as the Cherokee Native American tribe.

          If a televangelist said something approaching smart it means they swiped it from someone else. The only thing they care about separating dumb people from money, they’re just as dumb but more evil.

      Yup. OP, allow yourself to smile or chuckle. You might find that it was nervousness that made you so anxious to laugh in what you perceive as an inappropriate situation. Relax.

    “Hey guys can you help me disconnect from the fire hose of human joy to appease all the grumps around me?”

    We can’t and we won’t.

    Don’t. No matter how stupid you look, remember that it’s what makes you happy and that is a hundred more times important that people judging you. Don’t stop being a beacon of light surrounded by darkness.

      I can relate as someone who realized they’re actually more interested in the Humanities after choosing a STEM preparatory course. Then I remembered that the reason why I chose STEM is because my country doesn’t give a shit about professions other than being a lawyer, doctor, or engineer.

    Pleade dont. I mean it. Some time ago i was remembering back to a time when I was funny and it fucking shocked me. I used to make people laugh and laughed much more myself. Then over time life happened. Years of work, illness, family, relationships, the world. It was such a shitty feeling to see how the cynicism and demoralizing environment consumes us.

    I don’t want to go to an absolute like ‘ignore what everyone thinks’ because realistically it doesn’t work that way, but you should not strive to change your perception or internal wiring, but to be situationally aware when required. That’s what I think.

    Also let me tell you that I still get a little joy when seeing someone laughing or smiling in public, which I think is a good sign. Only the more deeply jaded will see that as a negative thing and give it importance. Five minutes later nobody will be thinking about it but you will still be a joyful person.

    Lobotomy.

    Honestly I have no fucking clue. I do the same thing. Especially bad if I think about something that can cause a laughing fit and then I have to explain a voice clip a friend sent to me.

    Most people generally won’t care though. They’ll look over and maybe go “Huh” before they carry on.

    You’d be amazed just how little people actually think about anyone other than themselves.

      Totes.

      When you realize how self absorbed people are…

      I like to say Cray shit on purpose in lieu of truthful small talk, people usually dead eye respond in normal NPC responses like “Good, you?” or “Have a good one”.

      My inner child/voice does use absurdism as a coping mechanism.

        Oh for real. I’ve been on the bus and people ask questions like what time it is. I just respond with something wildly unhinged like “Quarter past where the past, present and future all have a collective existential crisis. But if you need a more convential and temporally linear answer, tis probably too late for this nonsense”. I’ve yet to have anyone say anything other than the most generic ass “Cool” response. Some even say thanks which is… hysterical.

    I have a secret for you.

    Whenever you let out one of those little laughs in public, EVERYONE in earshot is wondering if you were laughing at them and is subtly checking if it was them or someone else worth laughing at.

    In those moments, your the last thing on people’s minds.

    Don’t change.

    When people see you smiling, it will make them happy by-proxy.

    Be proud, laugh loud.

    Doesn’t sound like there is anything wrong mate. Keep grinning at the world. Smiling is infectious and we damn well need it!
