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".
How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time

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.

Inside you are two wolves. You're at a furry convention.

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.

Don't. Just enjoy it.
To quote Robin Williams, "You're only given a little spark of madness. You lose that? You're nothing."

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.

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.

That sounds like the kind of thing I'd reply, "Oh, no thanks, I don't like bowling" to.

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. 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.

Farts are funny. Will always be funny. It's the follow-through that catches one unawares and dampens the mood.
Don't stop laughing at stupid shit. The world gets very serious very quickly all on its own when you're looking and when you're not. If you can retain some ability to laugh, you'll be much better off.
Am old fart: early Gen X.
However, it is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt.

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.

I did the same but music was my original thought. But then I wasn't sure what I'd do with a music degree.
Overall, I'm not disappointed with my education. But I'd stop at a MSc if I had to redo it.
Lost_My_Mind 7 points a year ago
Here's what you do.
Just think about the fact that you don't control your destiny. You're a wage slave. Doing whatever is told to you. You're going to die alone, and the only friends you have are only your friends because they are afraid of not having friends. The world is a dark and miserable place, and during the cold war America straight up lost 53 atomic bombs. Presumed to be in the oceans. Nobody knows their condition. Nobody knows if they are a threat to explode at any time.
On top of that, the soviet union lost an unknown number of nukes during that same time. Whereas the united states says they're pretty sure they lost them in the ocean, the soviet union makes no such claims. That means it's possible they dropped it from a plane, and it didn't explode. Maybe they were stolen from storage, and sold to whomever. No regulation needed.
So now, instead of laughing at some meme, you can have a look of dread and uncertainty on your face. Like you're holding back tears. And THEN you'll fit right in with todays soul crushing society.

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.

Tooke a bit to explain to my kid why I was giggling when I realized the spirit of B&B was alive in a show he was watching.

"Sometimes I just think funny things."
If they insist,
But what were you thinking that's so funny?
"No,that is it. It's a quote from Arthur, (do a drunk voice this time) sometimes I just think funny things."
It's not that funny but it's clean and reusable.
JoeTheSane 5 points a year ago
Yeah, OP. If you still find a way randomly smile during the day, don’t lose that. This is the brain working as intended.

I still laugh at that stupid asterisk chair meme and I have no shame so you're good haha. Just enjoy it!
Opinionhaver 3 points a year ago
As long as you aren't hurting anyone, you shouldn't really waste your time trying to live your life according to how you think other people are wanting you to. Nobody probably is paying any attention to you anyway and even if they do, they'll forget about you one minute later.
BlameThePeacock 2 points a year ago
Smile all the time and then people can't tell. Plus people will find you more friendly.
Lost_My_Mind 1 point a year ago
Ew. No. I've known people who are happy, and giggly all the time.
I want it to be legal to strangle them.
BlameThePeacock 5 points a year ago
If someone annoys you by being happy all the time, you may want to reevaluate your life.
