Is it normal as an adult to hardly ever really laugh and just pretend to do so? I see most of my friends around me having fun and bursting in laughter when I tell a joke or screw around in the flat. Usually I just blend in and laugh too but I could just not laugh either. I hardly ever have to laugh about something. The last time I had to laugh and couldn't stop it was some years ago about one of those hilarious dog memes. I know that I had a lot more fun and laughs when I was a kid and of course life wasn't that stressful and exhausting like it is as an adult now, but is this really how we are supposed to live now? Is adulthood supposed to be mostly shallow and pretending to have fun?
