I keep hearing about how you shouldn’t laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.

    Even if he is, don’t judge people before you walk in their shoes.

    Why would you intentionally post a hurtful comment to someone like this, and specially if it’s a sad person?

      Because it’s difficult for others to imagine that people are not 100% like them. Difference is considered a threat and most people’s base instinct is to respond with something that can hurt the other person because the other persons existence is a challenge to their worldview.

        I don’t know if it’s most people, do you think so? From my own life, there has been almost only nice people in real life. Social media though is very different and people act like it’s not a person on the other side of this screen.

        A threat? How would that be? Not to mention that essentially nobody is like me, so others being different is the absolute norm, the opposite of hard to imagine.

        I say that could be sad because not laughing is like nit eating tasty stuff. Not feeling nice things. A whole dimension of positive stuff simply missing. But specifically about the topic of feeling and lack of laughing is, more or less, sadness.

        Let alone that you are actively against laughing of others, and that absolutely is sad to me.
