Has anyone else noticed, that these days in order to gain attention you almost HAVE to be funny. At least around where I am. If you want people to like you, you have to be humorous, and they moment they stop laughing, the good feelings diminish. Even among my friends I've noticed that when I don't make them laugh they enjoy my presense less. Which is understandable, everyone wants to smile and be happy. But where is the focus on other values, very rarely anymore do I see REAL conversations. Seriousness is regarded as being boring.
Last year, I had incredible trouble garnering friends, mostly because i wasn't funny. I was akward, and no one spends more than ten minutes on that it seems anymore.
But when one focuses his/her life on being funny and pleasing others, they often lose sight of being themselves, and making themselves happy, or losing track of important things both mentally and physically. I'd like to see some people "deviate from the norm" as it were.
Maybe talk about something other than themselves.
thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteWow. This is so true. I thought I was the only one who thought this! Lol. There's a time to laugh and a time to be serious.. In my opinion, maturity comes with knowing when those times are and being able to be both at the right time.
