I have this friend and he's really serious. I can't even hear him joke or even laugh at my jokes. He's really serious and moment is always dull when I'm with him. He's a bit weird also so I thought maybe he's just really a serious person but being serious like him make those moments dull.

sounds boring right?? But maybe that is who he/she is. You know try to understand them. He/she is serious because he is not that friendly.lol he always want to be alone and look very weird for us because we are not in that situation. We are just misinterpreting them. You know what I notice that every person like that have there trauma or won't give any attention in there family. that is why, they are like that because they think to there self nobody will understand them. so, that they don't want to talk to anybody or mingled with someone. right???

Never....!!! having seriousness all the time across life may take lots of breath away and that probably makes human being weaken. yeah i can say it without hesitating, cause i know very well what is seriousness and how human feels while suffering through it. In case of my buddies i will represent my opinion and may even break off from one if it costs me so much frustrating, yeah surely and even i will suggest to everyone. But yes everyone has individual decision so no matter what i think of them. yeah enjoy you free buddies. Happy loting !!!

I have a friend who is very serious. She never jokes and she doesn't laugh at other people's jokes. We have some long and very serious discussions sometimes and she is a great listener if I tell her about my problems. She is also very open about herself and she tells me a lot about her life. In many ways we have good relationship and I enjoy sharing many things with her, but I must admit that it is a bit of problem that she is always serious, because I am a person who laughs and joke a lot. It is a little strange for me to have serious conversations all the time.

hello bianca! i don't like to be with a super serious person for i, myself is most of the times, serious too. i grew up amongst adults and oftentimes, i was left in the school's library while my parents attend to their class. They are both teachers. While other children are playing, i was reading a book or sketching profiles of people. I enjoyed my own company then. It was only when i got to high school that i learned to socialize a little, but even then i was kind of tagged as "the serious" one in the group. I don't even know how to shriek in a girly manner or for any manner at that. I simply enjoy to be alone and serious although i have learned to laugh with friends and joke around. Although serious people are boring to be with, they can have their fun moments too given the chance. Maybe you just had not been able to learn his tickle. You have to try to understand your friend though because as fate would have it, he was either born that way or was raised that way. If you want him to lighten up a little, you could try talking to him and advice him that it would be delightful for the both of you, if he could learn to loosen up a little. Help him loosen up but don't force him for doing so might just send him more inwards to himself.

I`m also a serious person , i can`t say i`m super serious , but it`s not a bad thing.Maybe your friend have problems , important problems and he has a good reason to be like that.You know , sometimes you are not in the mood for joke`s and stuff like that.Another thing can be that he is an introvert person and does not feel good in some circles.And to answer your question i will say yes.I like serious person with i can have a constructive discussion and i can trust she/he.

Well, there are many kinds of people in this world and everyone is different. Yes, it does sound boring to be around such a person but perhaps he is what he is because of his upbringing or circumstances have caused him to be like that or it is just his personality. We will never know unless we take time to get to know him, isn't it?

Well, I am moody and can get very serious at times but I usually am the joker among my peers. I sometimes even agree that I am boring to be with when I am in a state where my mind is wondering places and thoughts. At times, I can be annoying because my jokes can be too personal or just plain annoying, but, hey, that's me. I think that the most serious people I have been with are my uncles and some older people. Still, I enjoy their company because I learn a lot from whatever it is they talk about. But, if I had a companion who would be so dull, I'd probably say it up to his/her face but in a jokingly way. I think I have that gift of making things funny.

It's somewhat sad that your friend is like that. It's sounds very boring, and dull. I do think that we should all be able to laugh and have a little fun in life. It's sad that your friend does seem to have a lot of laughs, and such.

There is such a thing as being too serious. You need to have balance in your life. there has to be time for having fun too. if i was with someone who was too serious, i don't think I could handle it.

I really don't like a person who's very serious,for me his weird.I know to respect each person's character.I know also on how to deal with any kinds of personality.But there just a time you are not feeling comfortable being acquainted with them.All you try to do is to avoid with them rather being plastic.

Maybe he's not that serious you now. But to get him less serious you have to talk them into the topic they like. Some people just have that look, it's not their fault. I have a serious face too and because of that I don't have many friends. But those who want to get to know me and be patient with me usually became my good friends later. Just try harder. Maybe he's not that serious as you think he is.
