Hey, this is my last post today but I've had this prob;em for a while now, I'll give you a few examples, and yes random to the extreme...

I was at the busstop waiting for a bus and a car was driving at the side of me, I found it unusually amusing and turned away before it escalated :?
I feel like I'm going to laugh when I'm making a cup of tea :?
Sometimes when I see any item just there infront of my eyes and think "It's just laying there" and find it amusing that it's just there not moving :?
I laughed when I was at a youth group and we were all sat in a circle for a talk :?

My sence of humour isn't just random, it's unnessaserily random and it does scare me quite abit especially when I start going light-headed.

Is this stress-related? Brain damage? Bi-boplar? ADHD?

Or am I just mentally ill? :?

I also find some sounds amusing :)

I do this all the time. Ordinary things and situations just seem funny to me. My wife constantly asks me what is so funny, and I don't know what to tell her so she can understand.

a woman one morning last week while i was waiting for a bus commented that it was a very cold morning.
i said 'yes', & then laughed as if she'd made a great joke.
she gave me a very strange look & moved on.
i've no idea what i was laughing at. did i think she was trying to be funny? did i think it funny that she was making such a cliche, obvious comment? who knows.

I think it may be stress related. Since I was a kid any time I'd get scolded I started laughing and the madder the people got the more I laughed. Even today when somebody is trying to be real serious about someting I find myself grinning or smiling, sometime chuckling.

yes..all the time for me. heck, i'll even be in situations or places and begin to think of something funny, or better yet associate something around me with something that could be funny or with something i knew was funny.

...generally, a person who fancies another person laugh's at everything that person says. Did you have an umberalla, that's where love grow's (just kidding). :wink:

I laugh when other people talk, though i don't do it as much now. Not sure why though. Most of the time I don't know whether I should be laughing or not.

Yeah, I lahuugh at that kind of things sometimes.

I have a really dry and sarcastic humor. I laugh at the strangest things, and nobody knows what the heck I am ever laughing at. 8O
