There is nothing funnier than the truth; there is nothing more painful than the truth – so, learn to take it easy, even if a joke is honest and about you. Self-irony helps cope with anxiety and makes you feel more confident.
The ability to laugh hard from time to time and find something positive and funny in everyday things, or to be able to laugh at your own flaws, has many benefits. Laughter actually prolongs life. It strengthens the respiratory system, stimulates blood circulation, and helps improve oxygenation in the body. And yes, it may give you wrinkles, but that will be easily sorted by your beautician.
A funny phrase at the right time helps build relationships, strengthen bonds, reduce tension during conflicts, and sometimes even resolve them. The ability to tell a good, intelligent, quick joke even helps in leadership, to lead people with enthusiasm in difficult tasks. Why is it important to learn to be funny?
There are many answers to this simple but very philosophical question. But one way or another, any answer leads us to the conclusion that humour is very important in every area of our lives and is highly valued by others. If a person has a sense of humour and wit, life is much easier for them than for someone who takes everything too seriously.
Watching smart comedies can broaden your understanding of various humour styles and affect your general knowledge of life in a positive way.
