For years, I've heard woman after woman says after obviously falling in love, "He's so funny! I like that about him".
Often after someone has lost a family member, they say "I will always remember his smile, the way he laughed. , the little jokes he told to lighten the mood".
Maybe we like people who have a great sense of humor? I always thought so.
And now we have scientific proof of what many of us have long suspected.
Humor is one of the things we love the most in life, and often the people we love are the ones who make us smile.
Fortunately for those of us who are probably not that funny, humor is more often in the eye of the beholder.
Guys at work may not laugh at your wise jokes, but if SHE is laughing, well, that's all that matters.
For a long time, no one in the scientific world knew much about humor.
But over the past 20 years, more and more research has been done.
We know which parts of our brain have to do with humor.
We also know when a child begins to develop a sense of humor, So don't hesitate.
When you think something is funny, don't be afraid to let it out. First, think if your observation might be misinterpreted by those within earshot. Humor is good, cottonmouth is less good.
Use humor to relieve uncomfortable situations. When the mood starts to get tense, a good laugh and a fun note can get everyone back on track.
If you are not funny by nature, read cartoons, joke books, jokes on the back of Reader's Digest, and pay attention to how writers create funny situations on TV.
You can learn to be more fun than yourself. Humor and your sense of humor will develop.
Above all, be someone who loves humor.
Try not to hurt someone when you don't find their attempt at humor so funny. As long as the humor isn't in bad taste, make your comedian smile.
And be the one who isn't afraid to laugh and laugh when someone pushes your funny button.
A good laugh can be the best medicine you've taken all day.
