How to Develop a Sense of Humor
A good sense of humor can make you the life of the party and help you go easier on yourself. Using different forms of tricks, you'll have people around you roaring with laughter.
Learn to tell the sort of jokes you find funny. Once you've learned what kind of humor you enjoy, try including it in your conversations with friends. Try to tell your joke s as, if commenting on the weather.
Have fun. Remember, you are more than your humor. Try to find the world engaging, new, and strange. This will help improve your overall mood and make it easier for you to find humor in things if you allow yourself to play. So get out there and have fun with yourself!
If the way you tell a story goes a long way toward making it funny, practice it as you talk. Smile and laugh along with everyone. If you're telling a shocking part of the story, widen your eyes and lean forward for a dramatic effect. You can also use your hands to be more expressive and get a laugh out of others, too.
Joke kindly and carefully. If you are making fun of a friend, try to joke about a positive aspect of that person rather than a weakness. If a colleague is always on time, say you set your watch by him or her. If your children write a good paper for school, say they'll be promoted to a teacher next.
A. Surround yourself with funny people.
B. Use your body language to be more engaging.
C. Jokes about friends should not show them in a bad light.
D. A casual delivery is often the funniest part of an unusual comment.
E. Focus on their delivery and how they turn it into something humorous.
F. Jokes out of place may look like a power move on your parting with them.
G. Avoid getting so caught up in making people laugh that you forget to enjoy yourself.
