why is uncontrollable laughter sometimes a reaction to experiencing pain?
In: Biology
Laughter is a common stress-coping mechanism. We don’t just laugh at funny things, similar to how when a cat meow’s it doesn’t mean it is happy. (Could be angry, scared, trying to get food).
Or maybe you’re laughing at pain because (for example) you fell 10 feet to the ground but no bones were broken. So you’re happy (laughing) because you only walk away with scrapes and bruises.
