Entry 32

“And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”

Kahlil Gibran

Jaedo often turn to each other to laugh over something together (a joke said by the host or another member, a private joke).

I first noticed it during a radio show, where the members were sitting by age, therefore Jaedo sat side by side. They almost didn’t pay attention to each other, listening to the other members, keeping a professional serious face, yet they looked at each other to share a laugh.

“People who spent more time laughing with their partner felt that they were more similar to their partner,” Algoe says. “They had this overlapping sense of self with the other person. We also found that the more people laughed with their romantic partner, the more they felt they were supported by that person.” (source)

“Of all the laughter evaluated, shared laughter was consistent in its independent positive associations with relational closeness and perceptions of partner supportiveness, <…> some of the results indicated that, for men, shared laughter may be particularly diagnostic of the overall quality of the relationship, including satisfaction, passion, and commitment.” I.e. if two laugh together, all is well. The partners are happy, feel attraction towards each other and are not interested in looking for another person. (source)
