darkmoon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I have lost my sense of humour (due to a personal crisis) and am just a bit dull nowadays But am looking for new friends - help!! Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've pondered your inquiry... Here is a thought... Can you be friendly, polite and interesting and make friends?? Then, maybe as you get to know your new friends better, more of your sense of humor may slowly return?? As you open up yourself, the light of happiness will slowly shine in and I bet it brings your sense of humor back with it... Blue skies... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
FilterCoffee Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 You could try dark or self-deprecating humour. At least that way won’t feel disingenuous. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 But am looking for new friends - help!! The folks I tend to positively react to are knowledgeable about the world around them and confident of their place in it. Like the previous poster said, their humor tends to be gently self-deprecating. The worst thing you can do is try too hard... Mr. Lucky Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Try subscribing to a joke of the day site, reading cartoons or going to a comedy show. Even watch some funny stuff on YouTube to feel happy again. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I would start by simply presenting an upbeat and positive outlook. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 As another poster said, watch some funny stuff to lighten your mood. I used to watch John Hughes' "Pretty in Pink" because it makes me laugh so much. The old tv series "Reno 911" cracks me up. It's about getting you laughing again, really. A couple of kittens or mean cats wouldn't hurt. Long as you don't mind ankle biting. Link to post Share on other sites

Art_Critic Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 you just have to say "hahahahaha" a lot and it will make you instantly awesome! hahahahaha.... See.. it does work You have to be able to laugh at yourself first though.. I always found that after going thru something tough I would lose my humor and getting it back sometimes might take a while but it would always come back after I started to enjoy myself again and laugh at myself...
