Whether its a laugh or smile, same concept, but why?
In: Other
Smiling or laughter can be a defense mechanism out bodies use to ease tension. You’ll see some people that are in an uncomfortable situation smile unintentionally.
If you can compare the situation to a comedian telling a good joke:
The build up may cause anxiety or worry to form, but until you fully understand the concept or ‘where the joke is going’, your body eases up a bit.
Botox can actually solve depression in some cases, because the brain recognizes ‘smiling’ to ‘happy!’
Also, the other comment about it being a ‘defense mechanism’ is not wrong.
