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.
You’re telling the joke because you find it funny, it’s so fucking weird that people seem to not understand that.
“You’re really cracking yourself up aren’t you?”
I am indifferent to it because i think it is just logical that people laugh about their own jokes. They have a thought that makes them laugh so they want to share it.
Why should I share a joke that doesn’t make me laught?
I used to have a college professor who would always laugh at his own jokes. Always. His class only laughed maybe half the time. I didn’t mind much because he was a cool guy in general.
People who say you shouldn’t laugh at your own jokes are either sad, sad people or have never told a funny joke or story ever.
There’s jokes and stories I’ve been saying for 20 years that still make me laugh as I’m saying it.
Be a man, laugh at your own jokes.
Followed your advice, now my husband complains I’m not the woman he married anymore.
Laughing sounds like one of them “emotions” that aren’t sposed to exist for real manly men, so says the teevee

It depends on the joke: most are funny regardless, but for some jokes a straight/deadpan delivery is part of the humor.
OK with laughing over your own joke, but if you burst out and are not even able to finish uttering it, then I think this is a bit childish.
Lol
Oh, laugh if you feel like laughing!
Life is too short to worry about what should be done in which vibe.
If someone is about to tell me a joke and start laughing mid first sentence it’s a sign that is either going to be very good or so bad it will become good.
Let them laugh!
This right here is the best answer in my opinion. Regardless of the story, the teller is just so into it that they can’t stop laughing. You’re probably going to end up laughing with them.
As long as they’re not obnoxiously loud and saying something that’s actually funny, I think it’s completely normal. People usually say funny things that they find funny so it would be natural for them to laugh a little.
I think this is more of a truism within standup comedy that’s leaked out into being general advice. It can be offputting for a standup comedian to laugh at all their own jokes but even then there’s exceptions to the rule.
Laughing is bourgeois. I believe in the communal sensible chuckle.
I cannot not laugh over my own jokes
I guess it’s not funny 😅
Or any joke at all, really
I’m constantly laughing at something and people don’t like it :(
Truly weird how laughing over your own joke has become known as a symptom for sociopathy.
I like it a lot when professional actors lose it once in awhile, it really adds a lot. I do end up disliking it when they do it too often, like it’s part of their shtick. There was a dude on SNL for awhile who always cracked up and i hated him. It’s gotta feel authentic to me.
