On the other hand I know someone who seems to try to find something funny to say at all times and then laughs at almost everything he sys- I think its nervous laughter but this person doesn't strike me as nervous? One of my nephews has a laugh that naturally makes you want to laugh and it is so pure and genuine-it's a joy- but like both my nephews he is my favourite !!
Yes nervous laughter is a thing! It’s a coping strategy to deal with stress… it originates in our basal ganglia of our brain .. it also can be used to alert us to danger! Think about when someone laughs at someone else’s accidental injury inadvertently!
Oh I love that your nephew has joyous laughter.. it really is contagious for all the right reasons!

This is so true, I definitely don’t laugh as much as I use to.

I don’t think any of us do! There is a serious lack of genuine laughter…
