Question

How do I immediately stop laughing in serious situations?

I need a rl, not just something easy like "not sure" or a short simple answer
No links please.
I have a tendency to remember smth funny during times where no one's laughing, or the room is serious. like for example I burst out while my mom is at me and I'm not loling at her. How do I stop it?

Answer 1

Honestly, it’s your bodies natural response to something serious. Your nervous to say the least. Happens to me if I’m honest.

Answer 2

Well you can choose replacement behaviors for the laughter. What can you do instead of laughing nervously? For example, nod, exhale slowly, or click a pen. Try to figure out what makes you laugh then go from there. You can also focus on something like you shoes, hands etc.
