Some people laugh at others misfortunes.
People laugh if they see someone fall over in the street.
Why?

I guess anything could be funny depending on your point of view. I laugh at random things but also when I am doing something exceptional dangerous. Maybe it is also a way to cope with fear, generally after I realize what I've done I laugh about it and feel much better for it. Could just be the minds way of keeping us from going over the edge sort of like an balencing tool.
I find that people who generally don't laugh alot, seem to be upset more and have difficultys at social events.

I guess it is thier way of compentsating for thier inablilty to help that person. It might also be them trying to push away the thought of themselves making the same mistake.
Of course what I said as usual could and proably is nowhere near the truth I can only go on what I have experienced and seen. And after 18 years that isn't much. 
Does anyone eles laugh when they are afraid?

Behr and others,
if you look further down the forum you will see a thread concerned with the evolution of humor and laughter. It will give an anaswer (my answer) to all your questions. What do you think?
