Izo said: I've been in my own head endlessly thinking for so long. I never had that social appeal my brothers/friends had and I always thought, like the OP, it was because I didn't try. There was a period in my life where I had to realize that to myself I was this amazing person who dreamed these amazing dreams and felt the wonders of the world, but I could never get anyone to see it. People will always see me as a boring person. Although it isn't always fun to watch as people distant themselves from you for it, there is a good part. Let's face it, if you're boring and people don't want to be around you because you don't do what "acceptable" thing is like being a funny guy or w/e then the people doing this are probably shells of uninteresting creatures. This is just my opinion and I know there are great people who are also funny, but when I see a group of people and the only thing holding them together is a collection of personalities that make everyone laugh I can only think that if you took that generic everyday humor away there wouldn't be anything there. I've tried to engage with many funny people on a 1 on 1 basis and it feels like I can't get anything real from them. It's almost like funny people are uncomfortable when they can't exercise that skill. To sum up this insanity, you may not be boring OP, your inward process may just be much more interesting than the average laugh it up, don't talk serious, person can handle.If you notice something, the people who are close to you and listen probably think you are one of the interesting characters they've met. (It should be noted that funny can be interchanged with socially skilled, cool to be around, people want to be around, gatherers of the attention, ect) |
Most comedians are the way they are because they can take a look at the world they live in and make light of it while telling you the truth. Theres a truth almost anything a comic says, hence why people laugh. They bring to light the irony in life. I've never met a funny person yet who hasn't said something real to me. Sucks for you, bro. I hope you meet some real ones later on down the road. Theres so many different types of comedians as well these days. Awkward comedians are some of the funniest people as well. I have a teacher who is a rather awkward person and everytime he cracks a joke or makes a sarcastic statement it more often than not comes out funny.
