Like sometimes I can't tell if a person is crying, or laughing.

Sometimes people laugh themselves to tears. Sometimes people laugh so hard they shit their pants. It's a funny thing, laughter.

That's how actors do crying scenes

They just laugh but try to make it sound and look sad.
what do they have to look at to make them laugh like that

Sometimes people laugh when they're sad, and cry when they're happy.

Because the same respiratory muscle functions are involved in both actions.

The only difference between the two is the emotion involved, which is also liable to get messed up in the actions if said emotions become too extreme.

Me and my homie did shrooms and eventually ended up chilling in the dark. He went really deep into his family issues. I thought we were both laughing about it, and in an instant, something clicked in my head and I realized I couldn't tell if he was laughing with me or crying >_>. To this day, I still don't know.

Without those visible cues, it's really impossible to tell at times. In the end, I realized it doesn't matter because he was transparent about how good it was to get stuff off his chest. Which is all that really mattered.

Weird timing for this topic, personally. My coworker received news today that her mother died due to COVID-19, and she immediately broke down sobbing. For the first couple of seconds, I thought she was laughing hard at something.

Plus, he couldn't tell if you were laughing or crying either.

True. Which again, isn't really important to me in the grand scheme. Whatever made him feel comfortable. I can't remember exactly what I was saying because the revelation kind of took over the entirety of that memory, but I almost always slip subtle jokes into conversations. So Id say it probably depends on how jokey I was being. People are kind of use to my schtick and don't see me joking as not being serious about the subject. It's just a way to keep tension and atmosphere at a pace I feel comfortable with.
