50 Painfully Honest Posts From People Who Are Laughing Through Their Pain

When the whole world decides it’s a perfectly sunny day to turn against you (and trust me, it happens way more often than you think!), there’s little you can do about it. You can sit in denial, go into a full breakdown without a return ticket, or you can laugh your ass off through staring straight into the depths of your pain.

In fact, there’s a whole online community dedicated to this coping mechanism where people share examples of self-deprecating humor. No wonder it’s such a huge success! Created in 2016, the r/2meirl4meirl subreddit has a whopping 1.3M members who come here for a daily fix.

A recent study published by Scientific American showed that laughter elevates pain thresholds. The authors of the study believe that laughter may trigger the release of endorphins (like beta-endorphin) that elevate our pain threshold. The study also suggested that these painkilling effects may also be pro-social, helping us to bond socially.

So no wonder maintaining a sense of humor through difficult times helps to build resilience and emotional stability. If we’re able to look at ourselves from the outside, and no matter how hard the situation we may be in, try to view it with a positive outlook, the emotional damage will likely be much smaller.

But keeping a sense of humor in stressful times may be easier said than done. That’s why you should prioritize it when you are not facing stress. Making a humorous attitude towards life a habit will make it way easier to revert to that lighthearted frame of mind when you feel overwhelmed.
