So dh has shhhhed my loud laugh a few times now, and I’m not sure about how I feel about this ?

[IsThishmmmmm]

Ok so I’ve been told I have a loud laugh by a couple of people now
but I’ve noticed now that dh if we are out somewhere and I laugh he will go shhh
he does it every quietly and sheepishly

but I don’t know what to make of it
I mean I can’t really control how loud I laugh

@IsThishmmmmm You tell him to laugh louder

But you think the volume of a laugh can't be controlled?

I remember when mumsnet used to be such a warm funny place. I had many a night I’d be roaring with laughter at threads on here and people saying they were crying, howling with laughter, the whole gamut of laughter.
now, the same demographic (?) is demonising loud natural laughter?
what happened to people?
did the nice ones move one when their kids grew up?
is this the new generation of parents?

over and over again a lot of what I read is so many people putting posters down about any and everything .

Being negative and mean just for the sake of it, sometimes one responder having wildly differing views on two different threads about the same topic, just to put the op down.
when did people become so angry?

Are you Brian Blessed OP?

Yep a ew generation now, nit like the old days 18plus years ago when you felt like you knew everyone on here, and people knew how to laugh

So many projections
It's not performative
I'm not doing it on purpose
It's not shriek or machine gun

And actually have alos been told by other that they lovely laugh and they love the facts in always happy and upbeat
So different strokes

Dh oddly tells me I'm hilarious and I should have been a stand up comedian
I wouldn't go that far
Been together 25 years

If he does this again
He's getting told
As I'm not doing anything wrong
He he wants to live his life with his hand over his mouth when he let's out a begrudging stiffled laugh in public he can...
Be i will just be me

Cool poem, OP.

Yes I'm dyslexic, so what never held me back

Do you live in a hole let me explain it the best i can.

1) It means you think of something that has already happened but it still makes you laugh years later.

Laughing at what others dont find funny is when you take it the wrong way.

2) Like the other day sister saw a man and said he has nice cherries it was a tattoo of cherries on his arm.
My brain took it completely different i said yes they are lovely pair of cherries, we broth cracked you have to be there to get the humour funny side.

I love a laugh but it is irritating when someone lets out loud guffaws. I nearly shat myself yesterday sitting having a coffee and reading a book and the woman on the next table let out an eardrum bursting laugh! It's just consideration for other really, the same way that I wouldn't let my little one be really noisy in a restaurant or speak loudly on my phone on a bus.

See. That made me proper chuckle out loud, not guffaw performatively but I don’t have an audience so...

I had to shush my OH earlier in the week, we were on a train, confined space and for the 3rd time that week he banged his head on the very badly designed shelves above the seats, he has kept doing it and saying very loudly FUCKING HELL. In public, on a crowded train, abroad where people are less tolerant of that sort of thing.

There were some old members of mumsnet
They thought that their time wasn’t done yet
they loudly laughed
at someone stuck in the bath
the fuming mob took them out with their bayonets

I have a very loud friend. Its partly her natural volume but mostly she likes being the centre of attention and thinks she's witty and hilarious. I don't mind too much most of the time but every now and then I (and others) "shush" her because doing everything at top volume is intrusive and annoying.

Yes, it's usually exhibited by people in their gardens to make sure the whole street knows what a great time they are having!

You need to learn to control it and be more self aware, especially in public. It will be extremely irritating to other people.

A close relative of mine listens and laughs to voices in their head. He's bipolar so could be something you really need to get looked at if this is happening to you and making you laugh out loud

Is that a colloquialism? I have absolutely no idea what message you are trying to impart here! Don't really care though as am sure you don't care I don't care!

At least you know now what it all means happy to have helped.
Just to add saying i don`t really care means you care some what.

Why do you want to look younger? Also they're called laugh lines for a reason...

I look young anyway just not first thing in the mornings or after a night out lol.
But i think being happy makes us young we all age its normal part of life.
But being down and sad and negative all the will age us faster than time its self.
I know they are called laugh lines because i laugh, but i prefer the name happy lines with good skin care.

If someone who loves you is discreetly trying go get you to quieten then you need to listen. He is embarrassed by you. That's a recipe for disaster as he will pull away from socialising with you.

I absolutely could not be in a relationship with a loud person, it's a trait I strongly dislike in a person, partly because I'm embarrassed to be with them partly because I'm sensitive to noise and it's really stressful.

Your Dh obviously has been with you all this time so i doubt he is like me. Most likely it's just a teeny bit too much for him or he senses others discomfort in a way you may have missed. I think you need to take heed.

Nothing worse than a loud laugher when your out

It's hard. I have a very loud friend, I love her but get very very embarrassed out in public with her.

Yes you can control it. Not everyone wants to listen to you know. He’s embarrassed, rightly so.

Tell him to piss off

Maybe other cultures like to hear people being noisy all the time?

It all depends on context and just how loud the OP is.

In a noisy environment it isn't going to matter. In the workplace in a open plan office someone who cackles loudly every five minutes is irritating.

If the OP is so loud that other people have commented then she must be louder than she thinks she is.

I love to hear people being happy but there is a difference between laughing at a normal decibel range and laughing so loudly that it bothers other people, and it sounds like the OP is doing the latter.
