I get confused every time I read "sad laugh". I can't think of a real life example. Can anyone exemplify one to me?

Simply a fake or forced laugh with a serious facial expression.

Just as WICKEDp4th and FatGiant said. I would also add when someone is sad about something but doesn't want their interlocutor to notice, and forces a laugh.

I would call that a smile. A closed mouth smile. maybe a sad smile depending on the situation, but not a laugh. Am I just lost in translation?
The closest I imagined by that is a sarcastic laugh or a "ha. ha." By what you said it's probably the later. Sorry to nit pick, I'm kind of a stickler when imagining my reading and I legitemately want to understand the intent!

Something like this. It's a laugh that doesn't have any happiness in it, or when you realize mid-laughing that it affects you in a sad way. In Spanish we say "Reír por no llorar" (laughing to avoid crying)

Although similar, the facial expresions are iterpreted differently, what Trope FatGiant a few other users from here sharing "hispanic - romanic culture " call sad smile, Can be read in the Germanic - Angloamerican Culture as "pittyfull smile"
I persnally have my fun, with the 28 jhr old son of my better Half, and he with me missreading our facial expressions, (he was near 2 when he got to the US and he grew up there) they are similar but often have a different meaning.
"sonrisa triste", y would translate as sad smile and into german as trauriges lächeln, or gequältes lächeln (for the last you could say tortured or painfull smile)
There is a saying from the Argentinan Poet Almafuerte,: Smile because it is better to have a sad smile in life, as the sadness of a life without smile ( Sonrie, mas vale tener una sonrisa triste en la vida, que la tristeza de una vida sin sonrisa

"Smile even if it is a sad smile, because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile"
It is a version of what xapican quoted, but it is the version I've known all my life.
It is quite common in Portugal, this concept of a sad smile, or has TropecitaGames said, "Laughing to not cry". It is a bit of a surprise that it isn't common everywhere. I've seen it so much on visual media, that it never occurred to me that it wouldn't be.
Peace

Honestly, I grew up in the USA understanding a sad smile or a sad laugh, although rather than "laughing to not cry" I thought of it as "Laughing to hide pain." Also grew up in a Jewish household, so that could be a factor.View attachment 2492903

Yes, we are painfully aware how hard it is for you guys to openly cry. We don't have it that hard.

I thought it's "Don't get shot at school..." instead...

That is a typical situation of "Laugh to not cry" the truth is so sad, that to cope with it is it better to tackle it with humor !I thought it's "Don't get shot at school..." instead...

In most cases on My Dorm the "Laughing to hide pain" would be applicable to the *Sad Laugh*. It all depends on the pain intensity.
