How to fix your dry personality and finally become fun to talk to
263 segments
What's up, bro? In this video, I'm
literally going to show you how you can
become funny, how you can start becoming
funny, how to be funny, even if you've
never been funny your whole life. And
let me tell you something. I attest to
this the most because
I have literally been called a person
who is not funny, cannot make jokes,
someone who is not fun to be around,
especially middle school, high school.
And this was a problem even within the
past year and two to three years ago.
Now, I've always been called a chill
guy, but one of my biggest problems and
something that I've always struggled
with and I've always envied was people
who could just easily make jokes. Like,
if there's something that we know that
is like really good to have and like a
really good trait to have, it's the
ability to have humor. And it's the
ability to make people laugh. I mean,
we've seen it and we we've really seen
stereotypes from like movies and high
schools where it's just like the funny
guy, the class clown, the jester, right?
He always gets all the validation. He
always gets the most people wanting to
be with him and people want to be like
him. But my problem was
I had no idea how to do this. You know,
I would try to make jokes. I would try
to watch, you know, YouTube videos. I
would try to see like tricks and tips
and tricks on how to become funny. But
no matter what I did,
nothing seemed to work. And you know, I
tried everything. But it wasn't until
recently until I experienced probably
one of the best social lives that I've
had in university
until I realized that I think I found
something that no one is really talking
about. And this is coming from someone
who's done tons of things, you know,
tons of research on how to be more
funny. And I'm going to show you how
this has changed my life and how I use
it to literally improve my humor and how
I got rid of my dry personality and how
I actually have had an easier time
making jokes. Not the most funny and
guy, charismatic guy, but it's getting
somewhat better. And so here's the
thing. Here is the main reason on why
humor is such a problem for you. Humor
is such a problem for you because you do
not know what personally makes you
laugh. You personally do not know what
makes you laugh, what makes you what
makes you have a good time, what types
of jokes, what types of humor. Now, that
make that might sound a little weird,
right? You're like, "What what am I
going with this?" Right? But hear me
out. This is where I got this idea. So,
this year, I have probably had one of
the most social lives I've ever had. So
in a university with 80,000 people, I
live in a house with three other guys.
And then within my university, you know,
I have classes. I've talked to a bunch
of people there. I'm also in
organizations as well. And so something
that I really struggle with, I noticed
that I could have conversations. I could
ask questions. I wasn't an awkward guy
when it came to like humor, making
people laugh, service level
conversation, right? I noticed I would
completely struggle with that. And so
one of my roommates that I live with,
you know, he's like Mr. He's like Mr. or
he's like super charismatic. He's like
always telling me to make jokes. And I
was like, you know what, bro? What's
your advice on how to make jokes? And so
he was telling me this. He was like,
"Well, first of all, what makes you
laugh? What do you find funny?" And then
he when he asked me that, I was just
like, "I honestly don't know. I honestly
don't know what jokes make me laugh. I
don't know what type of videos that I
find funny. And then my charismatic
groom, he's like, "That's the problem."
And he basically tells me that what he
does and which he uses to like get a
bunch of like social charisma and social
validation. He says that the key is to
find out what type of humor
makes you laugh,
what type of humor works for you, and
then you take that humor and then you
use it in conversation. Now, when I
heard this, I'm just, wait, no, that's
not going to work. I'm just like, what
do you mean by this? Right? But he was
like, I don't make up all these jokes
just for my own memory. He's like, "I
take what I find funny and then I use it
in conversation." And then he proceeds
to tell me that making jokes and humor,
it's a form of self-confidence.
Because basically what he does and
basically how he finds humor is that you
take what you find funny from a video or
a joke somewhere. You say it in the
situation and then you're basically
expressing, "Oh, hey, this is what I
find funny. I find this joke funny. I
find this phrase funny." and I'm going
to share it with you and hopefully we
can connect over that. And when he told
me this, my mind was just like
flabbergasted like I'm just like, "Oh my
goodness." Right? And so from that day,
I started figuring out humor. Okay? And
so here's the first step on what you can
do. The first step on how you can prove
your humor is literally go on Tik Tok,
go on YouTube, look up um comedy shows,
look up funny streamers, funny um funny
bits, funny phrases that you can do. And
the reason why you want to do this,
right, you're going to find out what
humor works for you. So maybe for you
it's funny phrases just like me, right?
Maybe for you it's uh maybe it's standup
comedy. Maybe it's some of the jokes or
words that they use. for me especially
that I've used right is voices. I find
that voices actually make me laugh like
impersonations. And so literally this is
how my story relates to this. I recently
found that voices when I do voice
impersonations it makes me laugh but it
also makes other people laugh. Like I
was doing this like I remember this one
time I was doing this Donald Trump
impersonation and it's basically you
know I mock Donald Trump where it's like
oh we're going to take Greenland we're
going to take Greenland extract all
their oil and resources and the prince
of peace you know something like that
some cringy thing like that it's a lot
funnier and honestly that was a lot
funnier in my head doing that but I do
it sometimes and I noticed that when I
do it people laugh people are like you
should do that voice more and Because of
this, the reason why I'm telling you
this is because I'm literally taking an
example of something that I find funny,
something that I laugh at and I use it
in conversation. Now, here's another
thing. In general, saying jokes and
making humor, you're going to win some,
you're going to lose some. Not every
joke you're going to make someone laugh.
So, if you use a joke and it's not
funny, it's okay. It's it's basically a
uh oh, what's it called? It's an exper
it's a numbers game. you know, you keep
making those jokes, but if they don't
laugh, don't use it again. You just keep
using more. And so, you basically,
right, you want to take what you find
funny, uh, from maybe bits or phrases,
um, comedic shows, you know, phrases
that they say in TV shows, and you want
to use it in conversation. I also really
like phrases and little witty bits.
There's a there's an art of like witty
banter. And so, an example of this is,
right, let's say someone is kind of
like, let's say someone is telling you
no, right? Someone's like, "Oh, I don't
want to go I don't want to go on a date
with you. Oh, I don't want to hang out
with you." You can be like, "Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Right, right, right. Cool, cool,
cool." I think the right answer is,
"Yes, yes, JJ, I do want to hang out
with you. Yes, I do go I do want to go
on a date with you." So, if you can use
Woody Banner, that's going to be amazing
as well. Second tip that you can do as
well that has really helped me is
realizing that your environment sorry
your environment plays the biggest
factor the biggest role in your humor.
So as I'm in university with 80,000
students right I talk to lots of people
and within my inner social group I hear
a lot about the charismatic people and
like the funny people that I that I've
seen and I've met. And so I was talking
to some friends and I noticed that I
asked them, "What is your family like?
Is your family also funny?" And [snorts]
all of the funny people that I asked,
all of the careers, the charismatic
people that I asked, they always said,
"Oh yes, my family is 100%." You know,
they're jokesters. They always try to
have a good time. They're always trying
to make the situation lively and happy.
And then I looked at my family
situation. I looked at my environment
and personally, you know, I love my
family, but my family isn't really like
that. My family's a little more quiet.
There's not a lot of jokes going on.
There's not a lot of family. And so, I'm
just like, this is probably why I didn't
grow up with that humor because these
charismatic people, these funny people,
they see things through the lens,
through the environment of a comedic,
charismatic, social environment. Well,
I'm not. And this made total sense. And
so my tip for you and the reason why I'm
telling you this is because in order to
pick up on these things, in order to
start making jokes in humor, what you
need to do is get into the environment
of where jokes and charismatic banter
are always used, where humor is used.
Now, you might be like, "Oh, but you
know, I'm not part of any clubs. You
know, my friends, they don't make bunch
of jokes." Maybe you might not have any
friends, right? The easiest thing you
can do, take a couple hours on Tik Tok,
YouTube, Netflix, comedic shows, dating
shows, you know, find a bunch of humor.
Go on comedy reels on Tik Tok and like
watch a bunch of those every single day.
And first of all, you're scrolling,
which is lazy. But first of but second
of all, you're actually getting value
from this because you're seeing
everything from a humor perspective.
You're seeing it through the lens of
comedy. So do those two things. Find
what humor works for you. what find what
you find funny and then be in that
environment. Consume that every single
day. Like, share, subscribe, and I'll
see you in the next one.
