Laughing At Yourself
Laughing at yourself is a hard humor skill to develop, however there are some steps to follow to be able to strategically desensitize yourself:
- Figure out what's funny for you and surround yourself with more of it
- Liste down the things you don't like about yourself
- Arrange the list from least sensitive to most, then read it to someone before cracking jokes
- Come up with a few self-referential jokes from the least sensitive until you work yourself up to the most.
