Why do i giggle in serious situations?

Question

I do it in meetings, in church, you know everywhere your not meant to hahahahaha.

Answer 1

Its nerves. I do it too, the more I try to stop, the more I start giggling. VERY embarrassing!!

Answer 2

Me too...and at weddings and funerals too. My brother got married in a Catholic church and the priest was all serious and dressed in the robes etc and I looked down and he was wearing sneakers. I cracked up. I think its a reaction to the seriousness of it. I always seem to find something funny.

Answer 3

Its a nervous and stress thing that can affect millions of people, I always want to do that at funerals for some reason, I feel so bad about it but its just one of those things that make me very nervous and want to giggle.

Answer 4

Perhaps some one told you to imagine the other person was naked,then it's understandable.I would stop this practise at once before it gets totally out of control.

Answer 5

I do it all the time, can't help it, it must be something to do with nerves, but I don't feel nervous at the time. My friend told me that her nan had died and we were both laughing so much.

Answer 6

Nervous laughter is quite common.
I was given the filthiest looks of my life for sniggering at a funeral once. I didn't care, I hated the b@st@rd!

Answer 7

I've found, the best thing to do if it happens at a funeral, is to cover your face with your hands, and pretend you're crying.

Answer 8

Its to try and stay in control of the situation

Answer 9

It's nerves sweetie.
I push tuck my hair behind my ears over and over agin when i'm nervous.
Everyone has something they do from nerves, like a mild tick. x
