[@_R0BB_]

If you can't laugh, you just need to "teach yourself" to laugh again. I spent ages without laughing then I made a conscious effort to laugh out loud at stuff that was funny, funny stuff got funnier and I got happier, it was a weird but effective process! It's almost the opposite way of how we can develop depression.

this is incredible. Thank you Liliana... this needs to be forwarded by everyone who benefited... I just did...

[@francismausley7239]

"Laughter is caused by the slackening or relaxation of the nerves. It is an ideal condition and not physical. Laughter is the visible effect of an invisible cause. For example, happiness and misery are super-sensuous phenomena. One cannot hear them with the ears or touch them with his hands. Happiness is a spiritual state." - Abdu’l-Baha, Baha'i Faith

[@DonnyHathaway-i5g]

I was taught about laughter yoga in treatment for a substance use disorder and thought it was a total crock. Cut to me, 3 years later, now a licensed addiction counselor, teaching it to my clients! Laughing is SO GOOD for our brains and bodies, doesn't require anything, can be done anywhere at any time - I start everyday with a short meditation, followed by intentional, silly, ridiculous laughing, and i SWEAR by it! My work is very stressful and difficult - but laughing helps immensely. 😂😅❤

[@marilynharvatin1795]

I used to play "Ha" with my younger nieces & nephews. It's fun and you let stress go!

I just get drunk with my friends and we end up laughing naturally.

[@hanan9264]

you got drunk to laugh … remember

[@Cacaluta]

Kinghanaan thats what you inferred, bc he got drunk and laughed doesnt meant he got drunk to laugh

[@mahsarahbari5981]

"naturally" :P

[@kingwinter2024]

Marijuana can also help with that.

[@ravisworld6542]

For the people commenting negatively, I guess you'd rather take a pill that you will be dependent on for the rest of your life which just might give you dementia, obesity, high blood pressure or other mental problems that you never asked for.

Didn’t we used to have places for people like this

[@blue_sky_bright_sun7599]

People laughing and not taking things seriously are a blessing in this bleak society which teaches seriousness and death inside as some form of accomplishment. May you have the wisdom to see that.

[@ginaperregrino494]

I realize this comment was posted a year ago but I wanted to follow up for those who feel the same (like myself). I heard once that if you’re cringing at something it’s not that what they’re doing is “cringe,” it’s that you just care too much what people think about you to allow yourself to do what they’re doing. That helped me a lot! Sending hugs.
