My friends say that it's a mental problem.
Please share your ideas.
Thanks

technically yes, but so is almost everything else that modern humans do to pass time...are your friends anal retentive ? if so...that seems more irrational to me...
My dear departed grandmother used to laugh at her own thoughts...just bust out laughing for no apparent reason at all...when we'd ask her "what's so funny grandma?" she'd always reply " Oh nothing", and your "friends" would label her as mentally deficient maybe but she could kick butt at scrabble and make the very best homemade candy you ever tasted... I feel we could use a few more of those kind of mental problems and a few less rational types that can't laugh at themselves for fear of being perceived as having " mental problems" just my opinion....

You mean your friend has a mental problem? I think you're probably right! It's just natural to laugh when we read something humorous. Well, it may be irrational but why should everything in life be rational?

I think that it's perfectly normal. I often fnid myself laughing, crying or feeling anxious right along with the characters in the book. It's a sign of imagination and of good writing.
When your friends laugh at a funny movie, tell them that they appear to have caught your mental problem.

No and Yes.
Yes:
If you are in a private place where it is ok laugh like your at home or a friend's house
No:
When your in a public place where people want to concentrate and get work done like a libary.
Try to contain your laugh or just find a nice quiet place with no else in sight and laugh the day away!

It's the same thing as laughing when your watching a humurous play or watching a sitcom on TV. Why is it different when reading a funny book?

I do this often, a good book is going to grab your imagination. At this point laughing can be involuntary. Your friends are insane.

NO! I hope that is why you are reading the funny book to make you laugh a bite: if the book does not make you laugh it ain't to funny is it so why read it?
