    Patchouli replied to Have you ever met anyone without a sense of humor and/or never laughs?:
    I'm sort of like that. It's not that I don't have a sense of humor, I just can't help that I turn into a robot around most people. I laugh a lot around close friends and family members, maybe it's just social anxiety..
