has anyone’s sense of humor changed after running these subs? how did it change?
i feel like who i am is changing. i see things that i used to like differently. it feels like over time my sense of humor might change and get more matured as well. im curious if anyone has experienced something like that
Well since starting Glm my emotional maturity has increased and thus I’ve felt like I’ve lost my sense of humor at times. I feel I’ve changed a lot to, perceptions, things I used to laugh/joke about are not the same.
I’d say it’s a good thing but it does feel odd at times for me personally.
self deprecating humor in others makes me visibly cringe.
Before you could just laugh it off or agree with them to gain some deeper connection but now whenever I hear someone say stupid things about themselves and laughing about it I just think they are stupid because they actually mean it.
I recently decided to stop making sarcastic jokes that would paint me in bad way. It gave me a rush but also felt like the jokes were creeping into me long term.
Wont just laugh at anything and if I spot a deep rooted hate or envy in others jokes I point it out by asking them “why would you even say that?”. It does surprise them and makes them think a bit with this sense of “I don’t actually know…” answer.
Anyways to sum it up,
humor is funny like before but it cut out for me all the jokes with negative affirmations in them. Makes me feel repelled by people who use those a lot and I find myself leaving many conversation due to presence of such minds.
With the module Total Nonchalance, Lion IV, and Wanted I was more sarcastic, dry or I can call it witty humor.
With LBFH the humor is more normal sometimes even silly I would say.
When I was using LBFH solo my sense of humor was very high.
Right now I’m using Genesis & my humor is not that “in your face” & childish so-to-speak but more mature & full of joy.
Same here.
I think the best way to say this is that I’ve noticed people reacting differently to my sense of humor now than 6 months ago. I say a lot of the same things. Have a similar style as 6 months ago. Monty Python with a bit of Hank Moody, James Bond, and “Yes, (Prime) Minister” chucked in there.
But now when I say something funny, it’s like it momentarily scrambles their brain in a big way. They laugh, but their facial expressions look overstimulated: surprised, a bit shocked, slightly confused, and excited. Almost like I threw a spanner in their psyche’s gear box.
I would debate with you there that this is situational. @IRON
We all have insecurities and shortcomings and with a healthy ego and self esteem you can light some humour on it.
It’s a great way to be relatable with others, to ease a social situation and soften an overly brash/arrogant/unapproachable energy.
Being serious and intense serves in its outright but a wholistic approach would be able to utilize and have the capability of understanding when to turn on and off both.
you could be right as Im not sure what exactly you’re talking about.
My point was:
“My life is shit lmao I wish I was dead :D”
or
“oh my god I swear I was born a loser hahahahhaha”
are the most cringe and stupid jokes that most people around me make and I cant be bothered to surround myself with those of “negative/loser mentality”. Its like drinking your own poison and acting like its “just a joke”.
It does have a negative effect on you the more you say it and I wont entertain such things in me nor in others.
Avoid the unlucky and unhappy.
period
If I have a problem, I address it and I fix it. Not affirm it constantly to myself and others.
And yes ofcourse there are times to be serious and times to lay back and laugh but there are other ways to make people and you laugh. Many jokes do not include you talking shit about yourself or others.
Hmmmmm… now where have I heard this before…
