Well, someone has to!

Yes, it's usually the first time I've heard it too.

I constantly come back to jokes or funny things I've written on Lemmy just to laugh at my stupid joke again.

Only humourless people don't laugh at their own jokes.

Who else is clever enough to grasp all the layers?

If I didn't think it was funny myself, why would I tell it to anyone?

If I can't laugh with myself who can I laugh with?

If I don't find my joke funny, why tell it?

I'm the funniest person I know even though my wife would disagree

Well someone's gotta

Sometimes I tell myself a joke in my head that's so funny I laugh out loud. Seemingly at random from anyone else's perspective.

Hell yeah. I'm funny as shit.

Sometimes it makes it funnier to laugh at your own jokes. Mitch Hedberg laughing at his own filler jokes cracks me up.

Yeah, nearly every time. Gotta be able to laugh at yourself once in awhile

My jokes are the funniest.

I write and perform comedy, fairly low-level. To me it's a metronome on the fastest setting between "I am a genius, no one has ever been funnier" and "I can't even write a sentence let alone a joke, a funeral would be funnier"

if you don't laugh at your own jokes your not being funny enough

More than my girlfriend does

Yes, if it’s a particularly funny one. There’s somethings I’ve said I still think about though not necessarily laugh.

sometimes

Yeah when it's a good one.

sometimes but not always.

Why make a joke if I'm not going to find it funny? I love to laugh

And live

And love

Obviously. Everyone in my head says I'm hilarious

Yes, because they're not funny, but if I get in the habit of laughing at them myself, someone nearby may not be paying attention and laugh along with me.

That should work, as soon as I have friends to be around me

Yes

Yeah it's a bit of a foible but I won't crack a joke unless it's already got me laughing internally.

My jokes tend to be terrible, so not really, but what will really get me laughing is the reaction of other people to how terrible they are.

Probably shouldn't laugh at that to be fair, what with causing suffering and all that, but as suffering goes it could be far worse.

Yes - a lot. Mostly jokes i tell myself.

If they're good I do

Yeah, probably more than I laugh about anything else tbh!

in real life i usually have a pretty deadpan delivery, so i dont laugh at those for the most part. but when texting/posting online, i usually laugh at the funny ones. maybe it has to do with the time in between when i think of the joke and when i tell the joke. in real life, there's not much time in between for laughter, but typed jokes are a bit more premeditated

Sometimes yes, if I can't help it.

And sorry you are having the flu, that is dreadful, but enjoy the delirium.
