Do you pretend to laugh when people laugh?
When people laugh at someone's terrible humour or boring stories, do you pretend to laugh?

Yes. Isn't there some psychological reason why we do it. Like most of us laugh because we pick up on social cues to laugh?

No, I'll respond it naturally the way my body feels at any given moment, I mean I can be just say something without laughing.

Yes, all the time. I feel like a downer if I'm just sitting there passively while everyone is screeching.

Or else we just pretend to laugh because we don't want to be seen as the dry B*tch in the group
