How To Stop Laughing At An Inappropriate Time

Can’t stop laughing? Do you sometimes face difficulties to stop laughing, especially when it’s not the time to laugh? You might offend someone or get into trouble when you’re laughing at an inappropriate time.

1. Focus - Make yourself pain by pinching yourself or biting your finger to take your focus away (from the matter that made you laugh)
2. Avoid eye contact - When you have eye contact with someone else that is laughing too, you will laugh louder and hardly control yourself. Look elsewhere and try your best not to have eye contact with others.
3. Think of something else - Distract yourself from thinking the matter that made you laugh by thinking of something else.
4. Excuse yourself - Excuse yourself if you still can’t stop laughing although you’ve already done the steps above. Go elsewhere where no one will hear or see you and laugh out as you wish to.
