What makes you laugh
Robert Provine studied people and laughter. He discovered that people laugh when they want to be friendly. He watched people in city walking and shopping. He found that 80 to 90 % of laughter came after sentences like “Yeah, I know” or “I’ll see you later”. People did not laugh because someone said something funny. People laughed because they wanted to be friendly with each other.
Many people say “Oh, I just don’t laugh very much. I can’t change that actually”. That’s not true. People can learn to laugh. First you need to see how small events can be funny. For example, you are carrying too many bags, and you drop one bag. Laugh at the situation. Second, you can learn to be funny and tell jokes. Watch funny TV shows and read jokes on the Internet. Give yourself more reasons to laugh. You can learn to bring laughter into your life.
Laughter happens at certain time in a conversation. People laugh more when they speak than when they listen. Pay attention to conversations around you. You will discover that the speaker in a conversation laughs more often. Also, laughter almost always comes at the end of a sentence or a thought. For example, a person might say “He went to the wrong store! Ha! Ha! Ha!”. “The person does not say, “He went – Ha! Ha! Ha! – to the wrong store!”
