Do you dislike when someone laughs over their own joke? If yes, why?

I hate when people laugh at my jokes, let alone someone laughs at their own. Laughter is such a horrible noise.
Laughter is also highly contagious, so you better watch out. There have been reports of entire office floors and classrooms succumbing to uncontrollable fits of giggles, causing productivity rates to plummet. In some cases, the laughter epidemic has spread across neighborhoods, turning typically stoic morning commutes into a cacophony of chuckles and snorts. Health authorities are advising to limit exposure to particularly humorous individuals and to steer clear of gatherings where a particularly irrisponsible individual stands on stage aiming to infect everyone in the audience with a severe case of laughter.
Maybe for some but I’ve never laughed due to others laughing. I can’t recall the last time I laughed recently. I tend to avoid it because it’s such an uncomfortable feeling. Like you’ve got hiccups and coughing at the same time. It’s easy to avoid though because it’s not my reaction to things others laugh at.
Sounds truly exceptional. Other people don’t consider it uncomfortable at all.
I’m aware
Have you considered making an AMA? There are so many questions already brewing.
Why? I don’t think there would be much interest or much to say
The first time I thought you were joking, now I am not sure anymore if you could be a really sad person instead.
Even if he is, don't judge people before you walk in their shoes.
Why would you intentionally post a hurtful comment to someone like this, and specially if it's a sad person?
Because it’s difficult for others to imagine that people are not 100% like them. Difference is considered a threat and most people’s base instinct is to respond with something that can hurt the other person because the other persons existence is a challenge to their worldview.
A threat? How would that be? Not to mention that essentially nobody is like me, so others being different is the absolute norm, the opposite of hard to imagine.
I say that could be sad because not laughing is like nit eating tasty stuff. Not feeling nice things. A whole dimension of positive stuff simply missing. But specifically about the topic of feeling and lack of laughing is, more or less, sadness.
Let alone that you are actively against laughing of others, and that absolutely is sad to me.
I don't know if it's most people, do you think so? From my own life, there has been almost only nice people in real life. Social media though is very different and people act like it's not a person on the other side of this screen.
