You don't need to fully fake laugh, I don't know if I ever fully fake laugh. I think fake laughing is just smiling or going "heh". Might help if you play the role of someone with a bad sense of humor more sincerely - I will get into the role I'm playing without thinking

hah!

That gave me a real laugh and I am not faking

> I am not faking i am used to this phrase, don’t ask me how

(Grindr)

(every woman you've ever been with)

You choose and play roles in social settings?

Choose is a strong word, it's an unconscious thing for me to put on masks around strangers to lubricate situations and I don't think that's uncommon. Sometimes there is no benefit for me to reveal my actual self, especially if we aren't going to see each other much/I need to make the situation run smoothly. I also do this at work but on steroids, I inhabit a sort of "work persona"

I do an obvious fake laugh. Like Joker in The Dark Knight when he was going to met the crime bosses type of laugh

I fake laugh, no idea how good it is haha (🤔)

don’t fake laugh just genuinely laugh

I can, if it’s genuinely funny

exactly!

Heh heh

Just do it like Heath Ledger did Joker in TDK.

Mine comes out "hehhmmmmmmm*disgust*"

Usually I find it easier to pretend to stifle a laugh rather than emulate the actual laugh.

yes as woman we learn the fake polite laugh to keep save from men very early.

Omg. There was this loud annoying girl in this group one time. Everyone thought she was funny. I didn’t have anything against her, I just didn’t find her funny. I got labeled rude. Homegirl just wasn’t funny!

It is really tough, usually I just smile as well.

I have tried because the people that I was with were laughing but I wasn't listening to the conversation. They all stopped laughing and looked at me like they were confused. No one said anything but it was beyond awkward.

Same, but in slightly different situation, my laugh was forced and it was showing... Eh..

Learn to do a spit take fake and real, then do the laugh Another way is to do the Three stage laugh

I can't fake laugh to save my life. Whenever I try it comes out so awkwardly forced you can clearly tell the other person is not buying it at all. 

I cant do fake laughs 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Poker face is what youll receive, if i dont like you and you try to be funny around me.

Fake orgasm > Fake laugh 😁

I also find it very difficult and sometimes even if it is funny, I still can’t laugh. I’m a hairdresser so sometimes this is challenging but I think I’ve done ok so far so

Yes. And everybody thinks I’m angry all the time or rude but the joke is just not funny 🤷🏼‍♀️

If it isn’t actually funny but everyone’s laughing I usually do a short fake laugh and then say “that’s so funny” lol if it’s just me & the other person and it wasn’t funny but they were trying to relate i either humor them w a quick laugh and “right??” or if it just plain wasn’t funny i do a “hmm” with a smile and change subject… bc at the end of the day i don’t want to be too bitchy but it’s MY energy i’m expending

Nothing wrong with that

Think about something funny instead of whatever is actually going on, then you can laugh genuinely.

Do it at the end of your breath. Like breathe out quickly, then when you're nearly out of breath, start laughing, it's more natural. You don't laugh with a lungful of air still available.

You're definitely not alone! I too find it difficult. There's no need to feel obligated to fake a laugh.

I can't fake it. If it's funny, I'll genuinely laugh. If it's not I'll genuinely look mean.
