This is something that's bothered me for many , many years.
But I rarely ever find anything funny. When I watch a funny movie with friends or watch a stand up show or something and everyone else around me is laughing their asses off - all I ever do at most is chuckle, but mainly I just smile.
Sometimes I just don't find it funny, and sometimes I just don't find it funny enough to be falling flat on my *.
Could this be because of the cPTSD monster, or is it just simply my make-up?
I do smile, I smile too much. I smile the most when I am scared and nervous. I chuckle at me or the "threat" to make things lighter. I smile too much in therapy, I squirm and I smile and I push things away.
Sceal,
I'm no expert, but I think it could be because of cptsd. I have emotional regulation with a couple of my emotions as well. Others cry, I don't. I think it's the same thing, just different emotions. :hug: if it's ok
