Be less serious

it makes me depressed and i cant take jokes

Sometimes I feel like I’m way too serious. I am funny, and I can have fun, but usually, I’m more serious. My ex used to be facetious; she’d always say the opposite of what was expected, or something totally unexpected. I loved that about her but I couldn’t seem to be as witty as her because I’m generally too serious. When I do become a goof, I’m just a goof. It seem like I need to know when to be fun and playful, and when to be serious, and balance it out properly with probably a little bit more fun in my life than seriousness.

sometimes you just have to tell yourself, this is just life. or at least that’s what i tell myself, and for some reason it just makes me not give a shit anymore, and makes it a lot easier to be myself and quit worrying so much.

I want to be less serious because I don’t have friends. :( At MSN I think I’m funny and so sociable, but… At my college or everywhere I’m a human-wall :S I feel a lot of things remains on my own and I-don’t-know-why I can’t put this outside to be more sociable and less serious. :(

I think I’m a boring guy.

I want to enjoy…everything.

I am always joking at home, I don’t get it. At work I get my “game face” on too much. I enjoy doing a good job. I like having the reputation of being someone that gets the job done. I think people take me wrong though becuase most people don’t see me when I am being goofy, or joking around. Sometimes people don’t know how to take me when I do joke around. But I do have a sense of humor, it’s just that I like the job to get done right, and I expect the people that work for me to do the same. But you know, life is too short, and we can’t take our jobs with us. I know this.

i think i should be less serious because i have a sarcastic sense of humour and it gets in the way of what i find funny or not. like the silliest things could make me laugh in histerics and no-one else finds it funny and they all just look at me like im strange LOL but then they’re all laughing at something and i don’t see what’s so funny!!!!

i dont think sarcasm and seriousness mix well!!!!

Hopefully feeling more upbeat comes across as being less serious. Serious in the appropriate ways, and fun in the others.

Also, I’ve had a big change in my attitude over the month of non-dating that has lightened everything up regarding the “heart” aspect of my life. I would definitely say I am less serious there! I’m planning on making a post about that sometime next week.

I’m marking this one as done. It’s a goal that lacks a yardstick. If I think of a yardstick for it, for me, then I’ll comment. If I get in a funk or a snit for any period of time, I’ll “redo” this goal. You’ll know by the finishing icon where I am/have been.

How can I be less serious?

I don’t walk through life thinking everything is hilarious. Nor painful, nor pointless, or anything. I’m an optimist. In the right company, I crack jokes and make people laugh, I turn on. In most company, I’m “earnest” but not uncasual about it. In the wrong company, I can be argumentative, esp. if it’s important, but usually I just shut up and distract myself with something – and drop out. Sometimes I try to participate nonetheless, and then if I find a kindred spirit, or someone who stands out as more like me than the others, I turn to them and them to me and make our own company.

I don’t know how to be less serious. And I think if I were less serious, I might be more fun. And if I might be more fun, I might be more sought out. And I need to be sought out, that’s what I want – professionally, socially, and not right now but when the time comes, romantically. I need to be dragged out for some fun. Basically a couple of people know what I’m always game for and they call for those things – but it’s not often enough for me. Every week! I want a call from someone, anyone, every week, and a “hey I was thinking of this, do you wanna go?” And I’ll do the same sometimes.

Any ideas?

I decided on my birthday last month about this goal. So far I’ve done pretty well
