Laughter is an audible expression of happiness, or an inward feeling of joy. It may ensue from jokes, tickling or other stimuli. It helps people clarify their intention. Laughter is also used as a signal for being part of a group.
There are different kinds of laughter:
• Etiquette laughter- this laughter usually starts with a smile and then develops. Laughter is good for communication; people rely on it in as a means to get along with others.
• Pigeon laughter- it is laughing without opening your mouth and producing pigeon like sounds.
• Soundless laughter- this type of laughter is used in yoga or therapy. Just smile and let the belly push the air in and out.
• Nervous laughter- this laughter is considered to be a fake laughter. And it is used when people feel nervous.
• Belly laughter- it is called most honest type. It can even make the pain go away.
Laughter also can be sorted by the emotions we feel.
• Snorting- shows disapproval.
• Sniggering- insensitive, immature
• Cackling- laud.
• Chuckling- kind laughter.
• Belly-laughter- open and honest.
Also laughter has a lot of benefits, like Laughter dissolves distressing emotions and helps you relax and sometimes even helps to see the situation in more realistic way.
However there are few drawbacks of laughter, as I said is can clarify the intention, but in the same time it cam mislead other person if laughter is fake. Also laughing at the wrong time can make you feel uncomfortable.
All in all, laughter is part of our everyday life and as it is said, „ If you laugh you will live longer“.
