Humor I want to be funnier

January 21, 2012 12:00pm CST
I like funny people. The problem is I don't know how. I guess it stems from me being too neurotic and phlegmatic. I am not carefree and think things way too much. Being funny is a great trait to have. So how about you people who are also funny impaired? Any ideas or steps to be funny? XD

I like funny people too! It's just that particular trait makes a person very attractive and fun to be with. I'm a girl and I love to go for a guy who has a good sense of humor. Nothing beats a good laugh and that's why I always watch comedy shows. When I watch comedians, I just wished I could make up good jokes like them and have an interesting life like them too as all their stories are based on experiences. I tend to be sarcastic and that's my way of being funny. Most of my friends are quite funny and it's fun how they make me laugh. I'm pretty sure humor comes naturally, not need to force out a joke, how awkward would it be if no one laughs.

Yeah! Funny people are awesome! Comedians and the like seem so witty, intelligent and fast thinking. People also want to be around them. They tell great stories and make funny, ironic observations that I just can't do. I don't know how to tell good jokes or interesting stories. I guess it's practice. Maybe, their life seems so interesting is because they mastered the art of storytelling, I've read somewhere that they write down their ideas, stories and experiences and tweak them to be great stories. But yes, a natural delivery is the best with friends, it's not funny if it sounds rehearsed.
