Is it normal to laugh when you cry?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—laughing while you cry is a normal reaction. Strong or mixed emotions can spill out as tears and laughter at the same time.

Crying and laughing can show up together when you’re overwhelmed, relieved, nervous, or feeling several things at once. Sometimes laughter is simply how your body releases tension, even when you’re genuinely upset.
