Anyone struggle to laugh in social situations

[Hire Sather]

I don't find things funny and am always told at work that "You've got to laugh" or something in regards to making the day go by.

But when I'm asked HOW YA DOIN as i come in the door and I say how "I'm alright, just a little cold" since I just biked to work and then someone says "HEY (other worker) its cold outside!" I don't laugh. I just give a serious response such as "Well when you're on your bike you really feel it" No laugh. I know he was making a joke, but I was really cold. It was a serious response. I'm aware that he was aware it was cold out. When do I laugh

How do I human

hmm no i only laugh at things that are funny. i might smile if somebody is trying to get me to laugh at least.

Also no idea how I'm suppose to respond to "how you doin" every time

I was actually pleased with being able to say I was cold other than the normal "im good, you?"

If I could I think I'd never say anything to anyone

 

[Pharrell Williams]

i think "good, you" is the proper response always

I kinda have the same sort of problem. Ever since middle school, all through high school, undergrad, grad school, and my doctorate, I have always lived in laboratories and libraries and lecture halls.

I often have no idea what my normal, non-university friends are talking about when we go out. I mean, I know about sports, but I don't watch reality tv or anything like that, and don't keep up too much on music and gossip and stuff like that.

I forget the name of the celebrity, but a girl I know at my bar job came up to me the other day and was like "OMG!! can you believe that [insert name here] cheated on [insert name here]?! So scandalous."

And I literally just stared at her blankly and said "Who?" then shrugged.

I would elaborate, but then I would delve into my autism disorder, so I better get out of this thread. *hides in makeshift nuclear bunker*

learn to figure out when ppl are making jokes and laugh at them even if you dont find the jokes funny

if you cant do that then you have poor social skills and there's nothing you can do

go watch a Bill Burr or Dave Chappelle standup. If you can't laugh, move to Baffin Island or something, that's probably where you belong.

I just have a problem faking sympathy and responding properly to someone ending a conversation with something other than have a nice day. Like "enjoy your food".. "you too" type response.

Just today I asked if someone was going up in the elevator when it was the bottom floor. It was the mail lady and I did help her with her stupid mail cart that was jammed in the door so I made it for it.
