    I too tend to laugh in the 'worst' situations, sometimes its the overload of emotions that confuses my brain and the only way to release it is by laughing. A while back I was told that a family relative has passed away and my response was to laugh (not like a big laugh, more like a smile laugh if you know what I mean), managed to turn away and leave before anyone saw it. And its not that I wasn't sad, I was, I was so sad that I didn't know what to do with my emotions, and I didn't want to cry.
    So you're not alone here, and you're definitely not insensitive. Sending big hugs! <3

    @Past User It's crucial for others to understand and respect your individual coping mechanisms and emotions. Everyone processes their experiences and emotions differently.

    If you feel that others are perceiving your laughter as insensitivity, it may be helpful to have open and honest conversations with them about your intentions and how you truly feel about the subject. Communicating your perspective and feelings can foster understanding and help others see your point of view.
