I keep hearing about how you shouldn't laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.

My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you're hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.

Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, "That will be 10 dollars," and then laughs about his joke.

The reason i hate it is this: He's a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I'm socially awkward, so nobody likes me!

I have no opinion but I feel like laughing is mostly involuntary when its genuine.

No because I personally laugh over my extremely silly jokes

Fuck that. You should or shouldn't do whatever you want. I laugh at my own jokes all the time, even when I am alone, or haven't said the joke out loud. People find it much more off-putting if you just randomly start laughing.

Anyone who has a problem with someone laughing at their own jokes either has trauma or is an asshole not worth anyone's time.

I hate when people laugh at my jokes, let alone someone laughs at their own. Laughter is such a horrible noise.
