Why do I always have to smile or laugh in really horrible situations?

This has always happened with me. Whenever something really bad is happening and I'm in front of people, I have to smile a little or chuckle. I could be really hurting, but I'll still have the urge to smile, and I won't be able to control it for about two minutes. A week or so ago, I was trying to have a really deep conversation with someone about self-harm, even with my own experiences, we were both nearly crying, but I had to look down and smirk, and start to giggle a bit.

How can I stop this? As much as I love laughing, it doesn't make me feel better at times like that. Only worse.
