Sometimes, when people feel shy or awkward, they laugh. It's like a funny way to hide their real feelings. Imagine being the only one who forgot their lines in a play, you might start laughing instead of crying! This helps them calm down and feel better.
Examples
- A kid laughs when he spills his juice on the floor at school.
- A person giggles while tripping over a chair during a presentation.
- Someone bursts into laughter after forgetting what they were going to say.
