I think that I would like to hear that I made them laugh.  When you can laugh at yourself or the world in general, you usually feel good about yourself.\n\nWhen you care about someone you try to make them feel good.  This can be done without being emotional.\n\nWhen you get into a close emotional relationship, humour no longer works. Talk from your heart and say what you mean without worrying about getting hurt.  GIVE OF YOURSELF. \n\nBE YOUSELF - It is always appreciated.

Actually it depends on many factors. Some people just rot their teeth, others lose much of their mental capacity. Had a friend that Sniff Glue when we were young, he a nice person never start trouble, but, he real slow on thinking now and if we not around him for awhile he forgets who we are. Never makes it to the punch line on a joke either, because he forgets what he is talking about if the sentence too long. As far as physical health he great. BUT, just knowing what may or may not happen will have no bearing on getting a person to quit, they have to want too first.

Laughing kills the mood.

Your body doesn't make the determination, your mind does. We all have different triggers that start the laugh response, some physical (like tickling), some visual and some aural. It's how our mind perceives that particular circumstance. We all see things differently.

It depends.  If they look really ridiculous when they fall and its obvious they didn't hurt themselves, I laugh my a** off!   But if it looked like it hurt then my nuturing side takes over and I check to make sure they're ok....THEN I laugh my a** off!

That depends.  Can you laugh with a bullet in your brain?

"Laughter is the best medicine" has its roots in fact.  The endorphins released during laughter can greatly improve one's overal mental and physical state, and of course, the better one feels mentally and emotionally, the better one feels physically.  Laughter exercises the diaphram and also increases blood (and oxygen) flow to the brain and other parts of the body, and this is always good.  Laughter, contrary to many Old Wive's Tales, does NOT make you "fat and jolly." Crying is a two edged sword.  Crying is important in that it helps release the negative affects of upsets and pain and truly helps a person emotionally heal; people who can't cry are prone to both mental and health problems, and unreleased emotions (fear, pain, upset, sadness) can cause serious physical problems and disease, even cancer.  On the other hand, persistant crying can physically and emotionally drain a person (not to mention cause unsightly red, puffy eyes), causing real depression and the body's natural balance to go on tilt which can cause physical ailments.

Regardless of whether or not you feel sad, crying is a way for your body to release built up tension and stress. Ever been under an enormous amount of stress, then you hear a somewhat-funny joke and begin laughing hysterically...only to find yourself "laughing" so hard you're crying? Laughing is also a way for your body to release this tension. Your body is a miraculous machine and it needs to release negative energy in some way to keep on running. Perhaps you've been extra busy lately, or have had an extra amount of stuff on your mind...? Either way, your body is trying to regulate itself. It's nothing to be worried about.

Because humour where people get hurt (but not badly) is still the funniest. It's visual and it's universal. Think of how your friends laugh when you fall over (or you at them) as long as they don't injure themselves.

Stress can directly and indirectly contribute to general or specific disorders of body and mind. Stress can have a major impact on the physical functioning of the human body. Such stress raises the level of adrenaline and corticosterone in the body, which in turn increases the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure and puts more physical stress on bodily organs. Long-term stress can be a contributing factor in heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and other illnesses.

There is no such thing as someone losing his sense of humor unless you suffer brain damage... so keep it up... keep laughing as hard as you can, infact it helps in overcoming stress...

yes! it's proved even medically ,, \n\nwhen you laugh you are using most of your facial muscles and even making the whole body working in a fantastic way ! .... in contrast , being sad , sullen and grim would make your face latent inactive ,, a real proof is what we see in the forehead of nervious people , i mean those folds .\n\nso cheer up !\n\na note : be careful , exceeded laughing is not recommended at all , it have a bad effect on the heart.
