I had a family member who, after witnessing a traumatic event, would laugh when she was actually sad and wanted to cry. Something in her brain got changed and her emotional response was messed up. A doctor actually was able to diagnose her.

[@Bird_God_]

It’s PBA (pseudobulbar affect) some people laugh at random times or sad, other people cry at random times and some people have both.

[@sherifflasso]

I was laughing when the dad ran over her paintings because that’s such an exaggeration. He could have just thrown them away and the same point would have been made.

[@CupcakeSprinkleUwU]

It's interesting because there actually is a condition somewhat like this. It's called Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA). They portrayed this in the 2019 Joker film. I feel like it is more random though rather than crying every time you're happy or laughing every time you're sad.

[@sewageskank6730]

One time a friend got a call that her boyfriend was in a car accident and I smiled and laughed a little and I felt like a monster lmao. I honestly didn’t find amusement from it at all, but it was so shocking and sudden I couldn’t handle expressing the right emotions. However, it turned out he was absolutely fine though so I could have felt a lot worse in the end, but I still feel bad and hate that I’m so awkward.

[@fae206]

I have emotional dysregulation as part of a larger disorder. I laughed when I heard my granddad had passed away from cancer but my mum accepted that I was in shock about it. Laughing whilst in shock is pretty common but it does make you feel terrible

I laugh in any stressful situation I face and I don't suffer from any mental disorder. It might be different though because it's just a nervous laugh?

I just realised, every My Story Animated is the same. Think about it, there's a character with a wacky gimmick who goes to school and there's a rich kid who bully's them. And there's a bunch of parent issues, always parent issues. Then they meet a cute kid at school who has some relation to the rich kid. Through in an unrealistic plot and a couple twists, maybe the cute kid is a scam, or the parents are evil, or the teacher is homeless (remember that) and then you've got a classic My Story Animated. Well that seems to be the recipe for the ones that have a child for the main anyway. We do get a weird one sometimes but this is it most time. Oh and buff diglet.

It came up so often that she laughed while being sad but only once when she was happy she cried, the other times she just smiled

[@emll6143]

I have something similiar to that. I always start laughing when I'm under pressure, nervous, or really sad. It's a coping mechanism I evolved from god knows where and it made my life very stressfull when I discovered my grandma had cancer, all the time we talked about it I laughed, and I did that too at her funeral one time. It wasn't too loud but you could notice it easily. I always did that when my parents were arguing with me over something, and they got angry because they though I wasn't taking them seriously. And when I got a 3 on my report card I did the same thing, and my dad was furious. Nowdays they understand it's not something I do voluntarily and don't get so mad anymore, but they still remind me it's inconvenient and I should try to hold it when I can. The point I wanted to get to is; this story could be true if it wasn't traight up exagerated to it's maximum. And that's why it's funny

[@RGC_animation]

That is unfortunate, I hope your life is better now.

[@emll6143]

Sage: I laughed when my Grandma died. Sage later in the story: I moved in with my Grandma.

[@andromeda_va39]

I do this occasionally. Sometimes my face just starts smiling when something really sad happens. I try to control it, but I don't like it. I'm not sure what exactly it is that makes me do that. It's kind of weird. There are the times when I cry happy tears, like in my favorite manga when the jerk rival finally apologized to the protagonist for bullying him throughout his childhood, but that's pretty normal, I think.

[@lazilyymade]

I know My Story Animated has always been wack, but at least it was a zany and spontaneous kind of wack. Now it's just, depression, broken home, abusive parents, "but oh check out my zany quirk" wack.

[@himitsu.no.rakuen]

Character has subvocals-she must be half-turian, confirmed >.>

[@SonGayku]

slightly unrelated, but I don't think smiling when someone tells you something that should be sad should be viewed as bad. it happens a lot, and laughing/smiling inappropriately is just human nature, filling in the awkward silence after the news and a reaction to feeling awkward or not knowing how to feel. if you tell someone something bad happened to you and they're trying to hold back laughter (unless they're a jerk) they're not laughing because it's, it's because they don't know how to react.

[@Octi-ku4yf]

The animated story format: Girl/boy with health problems Dad is bad, mom is good Rich/Popular girl makes fun of protagonist because health problems and she also has a minion or two Teachers don't do anything Crush that rejects protag (optional) Protag finds a handsome dude that doesn't reject her Protag gets married, has money and kids

[@jmaster4941]

Sometimes the mom is bad and the dad is good. Almost always it's at least one parent who sucks.

Thank you for following up 'no moi' with 'it's ya boi', I always get confused when you don't lol

[@fae206]

1. What the hell did they come home to? Her father driving over the paintings like, what? 2. I’m sure that other people have it worse than I do but i have emotional dysregulation (medical term) where I’ll sometimes have the inappropriate reaction for something. Laughing when I’m scared or sad, feeling repulsed when people start praising or complimenting me. So I don’t think it’s some strange problem and I met many people who accepted me for it. (Example I laughed for like twenty minutes when hedwig died in HP)

[@melbapeach162]

Honestly I laughed at the Hedwig thing too because it was SO UNNECESSARY like why you already have so many characters you're killing off! 😅

[@thehearthotel]

[@chemystrypassionfyre729]

I wish it went back to the smaller screen so we can see joinen and chats reaction as the video plays. That's the best part of these kinda vids :(

[@thisisasupersayin376]

I agree, reaction videos get a bad rep for often not being transformative enough, and even though Joinen is great at adding commentary, showing the whole reaction will squeeze just a little more out of what he adds to the original content. And yeah, I want to see everything chat is saying as well, Joinen's chat really tends to stay on topic and add to the conversation instead of being 75% Twitch lingo and a few people doing a Sword Art Online roleplay or some shit

So this is basically a less complex version of PBA(Pseudobulbar Affect) or emotional expression disorder? And yes this condition does make it very hard for people to live their lives.
