I am 18 years old boy , I used to laugh non stop loudly and continuously everywhere in public places, bus, park, restaurants, school, I laughed everyday whenever I am alone , I Bunked my tuitions and went to parks, lakes, malls, roadside to laugh , I did to gain people's attention especially to attract opposite sex, but to my dismay my Vocal cords damaged because of that, and I did Stroboscopy and laryngoscopy and doctors found a cyst, but I am afraid of operation, as it may worsen the problem.

Vocal cyst is formed dude to ur exaggerated laugh , shout, scream etc. Based on ur report yes surgery is an option. But there is a voice therapy which u can take. Do it for 1-2 months redo the strobe and scoot again to see if there is any change. If there is no change then surgery will be only option.
Next Steps
u can schedule and appointment with me. as I am a voice therapist.
Health Tips
if u follow the exercise and instructions what I say. u may get rid of it too. all depends o. the size of the cyst
