my emotions are inappropriate for the situation
I find that my emotions are often inappropriate for the situation at hand, for example, if someone says something that is dead serious or if I watch a video that is dead serious I will start giggling at least quietly if not laughing very hard because of it, I am not a sadist or anything it's just so weird, I don't know is it normal or not? Thanks

i had that problem when i was a kid it goes away if you continually try to stop and act appropriately or you could just continue (it's sometimes fun to brighten the mood during a serious time) :D

it's called nervous laughter. Many people laugh when they feel tense or too serious.

I've been trying to stop it for the longest time and I just can't. I'm 18 now and have had that problem for as long as I can remember and have tried to stop it for so long after I realized that I didn't feel upset about the same things as other people.

Sometimes I'm not tense or anxious, I just don't feel sad because someone else got hurt, killed, etc.

altough it is "almost" always normal, sometimes it can indicate a psychiatric disorder; i mean, not in your situation, but sometimes.
