Why do Japanese people laugh when I'm talking about something serious?

It's one of the things I'm not used to in Japan, but I can't get used to being laughed at for something I said in earnest.

For example, when I tell them about the ALS patient I met in the U.S. who is living with a feeding tube in his stomach, or about my contact with people in juvenile detention centers, or about the fact that I saw them go through a lot of painful things like rape and abuse before they became monsters, I get a strange laugh.

I'm always annoyed by their incomprehensible reactions like "Ah... hahahaha...".

I get the same reaction when I talk about something serious about my family or my health (I'm speaking in Japanese, so it doesn't mean they don't understand what I'm saying).

Totally... what is this laughter?

  • They do not know how to react in serious situation.

  • 日本人関係なくね サウスパークでも辛辣な場面で空気読まずに笑ったりするキャラいるだろ
