Yeah. I also tend to laugh in serious situations. Some people misinterpret that as not taking the situation seriously, but that isn't the case. You can take a situation seriously without having to go full-on moribund or stone-faced. And helping to slightly diffuse serious situations with laughter can also lead to more level-headed thinking when dealing with it.

I do this and am very self conscious about it. I actively keep a straight face when I'm concerned a laugh might be interpreted as cruel but it's very hard for me not to have a good chuckle in serious situations
