I usually dont laugh or joke around much with other people. If I am feeling depressed, I can usually cheer myself up with humour. If someone makes a mistake, I will often tease them about it. I let people laugh at me or make fun at my expense more than I should. I dont have to work very hard at making other people laugh - I seem to be a naturally humorous person. Even when Im by myself, Im often amused by the absurdities of life.
People are never offended or hurt by my sense of humor. I will often get carried away in putting myself down if it makes my family or friends laugh. I rarely make other people laugh by telling funny stories about myself. If I am feeling upset or unhappy I usually try to think of something funny about the situation to make myself feel better.
