I keep hearing about how you shouldn't laugh over your own jokes but when I watch a video or listen to a podcast, I find it much more authentic and likable when they laugh over their own jokes in a conversation. You know, vibes.

Most times I can tell if the laughter is fake or not, and I happened to be in situations when I can't contain myself to tell the story straigh without laughing my ass off. It depends.

I hate when people laugh at my jokes, let alone someone laughs at their own. Laughter is such a horrible noise.

The only time it can get annoying is if it disrupts the telling of the story multiple times, but I'm also impatient in general

Whoever says to not laugh about their own jokes has never seen el Risitas. RIP.

No because I personally laugh over my extremely silly jokes

To lol or not to lol

Fuck that. You should or shouldn't do whatever you want. I laugh at my own jokes all the time, even when I am alone, or haven't said the joke out loud. People find it much more off-putting if you just randomly start laughing.

Anyone who has a problem with someone laughing at their own jokes either has trauma or is an asshole not worth anyone's time.
