How To Be Humorous Without Trying So Hard

By William Wentworth


People find someone interesting is he is funny or has a good sense of humor. This is because someone who can make you laugh needs to be smart and intelligent enough. When you are humorous, you attract many people and catch their attention. Laughing is one way to relieve a person from pressures and difficulties in life. But, what if you are not that kind of person? Well, here are some techniques you can do to be a funny person.


One of the ways to become witty is you should know how to listen. However, although you know how to listen, you must understand what the other person is saying. True listening requires not only by listening to the words, but also, to know the meaning of the words. Listening from others will give you ideas on how to make be funny. In any conversation, you need to listen first before you respond. In addition, it will provide you more time to think of what your reply will be.


Another thing you must know to be witty is to be imaginative. Imagine the situation and make that situation funny. Imagination gives us a more detailed scenario and it allows you to think of funny thoughts and ideas. You should learn how to imagine things so that your audience will also imagine what you are sharing with them. You may also exaggerate to make your story funnier. Occasionally, you need some exaggeration in your story to make it more hilarious.


Some people have funny stories to tell, but they are too shy to tell them. So, get rid of those nervousness and tensions and start telling your jokes! It will never do any good on your part if you are timid and unable to speak with other people, especially in front of women. Do some breathing exercises before you approach a crowd or before you speak. This will help you relax and focus on what you are about to say.


When you are narrating a funny story, your facial expression must be in coordination with your story. This is very important. Sometimes, we do not need to speak to be funny. All we need to do is show some hand gestures, body actions, or facial expressions. Additionally, emotions must be taken into account to provide other people a good laugh. Hand motions are also important in making a joke.


For you to be able to be witty, you need to be with funny people most of the time. Or, read some materials that will provide you with some good jokes and stories. You can even watch other comedians on how they do it. You may also share some funny incidents that happened to you. Furthermore, you may speak of a something that happened to another person, which made you laugh. But, it should be in a funny way and not insulting.


You do not have to exert too much effort to make others laugh. Believe in yourself, have confidence and most importantly, relax. People will not kill you if you do not deliver a good joke. Again, do not make fun of other people, but make fun of what they did and experienced.
