When you're typing "Lol" are you even laughing?

[Fonzie]

Well?

[escobert]

depends. if I say "haha" it's more halfhearted.

[Dynast-Kid]

Lol, usually.

[Meat Puppet]

Sometimes.

[Jessweeee♪]

LQTM

[Cz]

When I type xD, it means I've found something funny.
When I type xDDD, it means I'm laughing out loud.
When I type xDDDDDDDDDDD, it means I'm dying, and it's your fault.

[Denmark]

What Cz said. 'cept i don't use xD as much as i used to. but it's similar for "haha"s.

[Shiny]

Yes. Or in less common instances, "LMAO" when I find something really amusing. Otherwise I just say something like "haha", or “Heh” to acknowledge that it was a joke.

[Faris]

lol no.

Same as Cz. :cool:

[Mirage]

Not most of the time, lol.

[Obsidian]

I use XD or LMAO to signify that I actually laughed. I usually use lol mockingly.

[Fatal Impurity]

I use it to bridge gaps in topics or sentences...

I also use it when there is nothing else to say and im bored...if im actually laughing im more likely to put LMAO or ROFL.

[rubah]

lol sometimes.

A true lol is something like a closed mouth exhaling of humor.

haha! might have my mouth open

hahahahahahahahahaxDDDDDDDDDDDD is where i am actually laughing, probably with my eyes squinted from it xD

[~*~Celes~*~]

not always

[StarlightAngel]

I never use "lol". I more often use "XD" to show my amusement :3 or "haha"

[Old Manus]

Always

[Tavrobel]

I say lol even when I'm not laughing. It's a social thing in order to make others feel good about themselves. If I chuckle, it's some form of EL OH EL, rofl, roflblastar, roflcoptor, winnared, get pwned much, ARE OH EFF EL, or lmao. I use xD (not that blasphemous XD) to denote when I am joking, or using someone as the butt of a joke.

If I'm actually laughing, I won't be typing at all. Which is never.

[Namelessfengir]

not really i use things like wtf and gthmf (go to hell mother....)
other than that not really

[crono_logical]

Smilies convey so much more than lol ever can :p

[anacacia]

I don't even use lol anymore. I just say haha, and usually I am laughing. But I agree, smilies do repressent more :)

[Resha]

Not when I lol.
But when I LOL, oh boy, you're on a roll.

[Psychotic]

no lol

[Rengori]

I never type lol.

[atlanteay]

most of the time, but 'heh' should be better for those situations. I just didn't want to sound rude. I guess only when i type 'LMAO' means i'm really really laughing out loud.

[XxSephirothxX]

"lol" is for making fun of someone or being silly. Lawl is bemusement. I am rarely actually laughing out loud in either situation. That calls for an exDee.

[Pouring Rain]

No.

[Spammerman]

no, but i think its just a bit funny..

[Proxy]

I think I saw a thread like this on the SA forums while I was creeping =(
Anyway, yes, sometimes, I do. I give a little chuckle to myself.

[Leen-Leen]

I never use "lol" anymore, but I do use "xD" I'm not laughing, but it does show (i think) that I'm being more playful then laughing. If I'm laughing, I usually just type "hahahaha ..." and if it's even more funny I'll add more "ha's."

... xD

[Goldenboko]

I never type lol.

You just did :eek:

[Ace14]

Sometimes but not always.

[Dr. Acula]

Sometimes... but usually if I type lol it means I'm joking. I have this friend who takes everything I say seriously, so I have to say "lol" after pretty much everything- but then she takes THAT seriously at thinks I'm laughing about something that's not actually funny.:mad:

[10-Breaker]

I laugh inside my head when typing lol.

[No.78]

I make strange little noises to express my amusement when I type lol.

If I type haha or hehe, its usually me being more sincere.

[Lachrymosa]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But if I type lmao or XD, then I'm laughing. And if it's LMAO or XD!!, then I'm dying.

[Peter_20]

I never laugh while typing them,. I just smile and chuckle a bit. :D

[Garnie]

yes somtimes but i say it if i dont have anything else to say lol

[Araciel]

i don't LOL

[daggertrepe]

When I type "lol" I'm only half amused. If I type rotflmao, then I'm amused.

[Peegee]

lol in lowercase is perceived by me as a catch all acknowledgement of funny.

LOL
LMAO
ROFL!!!!

are examples of situations where I probably caused somebody to actually laugh out loud.

Capish?

[sir helix]

wen i type lol im usaly LOTI or (laughing on the inside)

[Brennan]

Lol = heh
XD = hahaha
LMAO = lol

[Rocket Edge]

lol sometimes, but I'll make it show if i'm really laughing. lol

[Madame Adequate]

Sometimes. But it's a much more convenient way to express amusement than "I find this quite a ripping yarn, what what old chap!" or even just *smirks*.

xD works as well.

[Nominus Experse]

What MILF said, though I don't laugh much period. However, that does not mean that I do not find things amusing or enjoyable, I simply don't display them outwardly via a grand smile or laugh.

Lol

[Zeromus_X]

depends. if I say "haha" it's more halfhearted.

Along with xD.

[Sweet Beloved]

If I say lol, I get a little laugh out of me but yeah, and if it's XD or x] I'm smiling pretty much.
now if it's
LMAO (in caps) and XDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I'm laughing a lot x]!

[Vikeve]

Only if I'm actually laughing I don't use lol that much usualy I put down "hah" or I tell the person that it was funny.

It bothers me not knowing wether my friends are really laughing or not becuase half the time I can't tell it really wasn't that funny.:crying:

[oddler]

Only if it's in colons. :lol:

[yanis]

I really loled with some posts, but I use :bgl: instead...:bgl:

[kikimm]

Replace lol with xD, and then the answer is yes. Every single time. There's no point in xDing if you're not laughing.

[Vincent Valentine]

Chances are, if I ever actually typed LOL, I'd be too busy wanting to kill myself for using net lingo to bother laughing.

[Sergeant Hartman]

Why lol when you can lul?

[Jessweeee♪]

Why lol when you can lul?

I like lawl better.

[Mr.SimpleandClean]

With me:
LoL-means it amused me but..it wasnt all that funny
LMAO-means i smiled and shook my head
HAHAHAHAHAHA- means im laughing so hard i can only press to keys

[41-Inches-Wide]

I learnt from my british sifu the power of GREAT LULZ.xD

[Xatif]

I use it every now and then, but when I'm really laughing I use "LMAO." I use "ROFL" when I find something slightly funnier than in "LMAO" status... And finally I use "ROFLMAO" when I see something that can potentially kill me from laughter.

[Chloe.]

Most of the time.

[Jess]

Sometimes I will just write lol because I have nothing else to say. Whether I'm actually laughing or not is pretty simple to figure out -- did you say something funny or not? :jess:
