why do I not feel as cool when I smile or laugh?

I feel like I am not as cool when I smile or laugh because I have no control over it, I remember when I lived in this small town when I was little I hung out with a group of friends that would ALWAYS laugh, no matter how unfunny something was, it was an almost insecure laugh.. Well the laughing is too painful now and I don't want to laugh or fake smile anymore!! anyone experience something similar to this?

Answers:
I know this sounds corny, but laughing can be considered a sign of nervousness. If you feel self conscious when you laugh, it could just be your animal instict telling you not to look intimidated.

If you look at animals, they usually bear teeth when threatened or nervous.

But, you are human. Laughing is good for your soul. Don't laugh if you don't find something funny, but don't hide your laughter away either.

it's too late for you, just end it all now

When you laugh or smile, you are showing a piece of who you really are. If you have low self-esteem or don't feel confident, showing who you really are can be scary. Once you feel confident in who you are, you won't worry about being cool so you'll be able to laugh freely and genuinely. Coming to that place can be difficult, but I'm sure you can do it.

All of that is born from insecurity. The need to laugh with the crowed, is born from a fear of judgment. There is no joy, no companionship, in that kind of joviality, and it's clear to me, that because you spent so much time making sure you were doing whatever one else was, to escape their judgment, now, even though there is no longer a fear of judgment, there is no joy left to be had.

It's like smiling too much, and after a time, your mouth hurts. Perhaps you may want to smile, but your jaw muscles are in such pain, all you want to do is let your mouth go slack.

Well, sounds like that's what your spirit needs. To go slack. I think it's OK, to let that happen for a time. Just don't forget to try and smile later.
Avoid loughin or smilin when i dont mean it, this makes u remember the early days with ur friends when u did this. If u dont feel like loughin dont. Do so when u mean it, i hink there u wont feel as bad! Mayb u have a low self esteem or mild depression n r having what is called an incongrete mood, ie sayin or expressing what u dont feel inside eg sayin u r happy when in actual sencse ur face is sad n r feeling sad inside, u could seek proffessional help n discover what is goin on inside u! All the best n cheers
