Why do some people laugh to the point of tears?

Weekly Topic: When was the last time you laughed to tears?

Ms Judy

Laughter that brings tears is a fascinating mix of emotions and body reactions. When we find something very funny, our brain releases endorphins, which make us feel really good. This strong feeling can overload our emotions, causing us to cry. Also, the same part of our nervous system controls both laughing and crying, so we can end up with tears when we laugh a lot. This blend of happiness and physical reaction shows how closely our emotions and bodies are connected, highlighting the strong impact of our feelings.
