Nervous Habit
2 Comments

I have this habit of smiling and laughing a bit whenever I'm nervous. Recently my car broke down and I had to hitch a ride to the gas station. Some guy pulled over and picked me up. While driving he tried to make small talk, it was then that I noticed he had a knife on his belt and given that I heard all those hitching stories my mind raced with thoughts of me ending up dead on the road by this guy.

As I thought of this in the awkward silence between us I began to chuckle a little, I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw him glance at me with a stoic stare, this made me laugh a little harder. He asked me what was so funny but I just said its nothing. I then started to laugh harder thinking about how weird it would sound if I explained it to him.

He than pulled over the car and told me to get out, probably thinking that I was kill him or something hah.

So is it normal to laugh when nervous?
Do you think it's normal?

yes it is normal. it is just like crying when you are afraid. every person has different emotions. i know someone who farts when she gets nervous. don't worry. you're fine. :)
