How is it that I cannot enjoy the same joke as heartily as him?
Is there anyway I can add humour to my life?
People call me 'serious' but 'wonderful person'!
Not that I cannot understand the joke, but unless it's really really silly/ funny, I just cannot laugh, specially when in front of an audience.
Does this mean I'm really a serious person by nature?
I am told that I cannot enjoy life as fully as I should be...
...What should I do to stop being so serious?
...Or should I just be what I am...?

Almost ANY joke, eg; 'stupidvideos.com, metacafe.com; sms jokes; sick jokes; blonde jokes; situational jokes; etc. He just haughs heartily, I find he's quite chilled out too!

Give an example of the type of joke...... that would help me answer better.
**Okay, do you feel like you'd offend someone if you found it funny? You also mentioned that it's harder to laugh in front of people. Just laughing or showing emotion at all? Do you have a lot of anxiety and would feel judged if you were to show your feelings in front of others? You could have an anxiety disorder. Not trying to take it to extremes, but it could be something to consider. I don't know... just throwing it out there.
Or maybe, you feel like something has to be especially clever to be funny. Something new....... maybe you're bored with things because you've heard it all. I've noticed that with all the new movies that come out, I really have to be blown away to enjoy them- because plots repeat, etc. I'm tired of hearing the same jokes over and over and being expected to think it's funny even though it's been done before. I don't like predictable movies.
Or maybe, like you said, you *are* too serious. Sit back, have a glass of wine (or beer, or smoke a joint or whatever you prefer) and relax. Then, try to find something, a joke site, a movie, book, etc. that you can *relate* to. If you're reading jokes about parenting, and you don't have any kids, then you really can't relate and you won't be able to appreciate them as much. Of course you understand and "get" the joke, but it doesn't hold any meaning to you. If you work in an office, try to find some "office jokes." Whatever. You need to find something to relate to, and if you can't, maybe you need to get out more, find a hobby, do things.

Im a serious person too...so I can relate, I've learned to laugh more, you just have to let go... stop being so serious, don't worry about anything, just enjoy life...or it could mean that your are a serious person by nature, just be yourself people are different not everyone is the same...maybe you're so serious because you lost your parents...

o.k. i believe ... Heres a million four u : In town at a crowded bus quit, a lovely blonde used to be looking forward to the bus. She used to be decked out in a decent leather-based mini skirt with matching tight leather-based boots and jacket. As the bus rolled up and it grew to be her flip to get on, she grew to be conscious that her skirt used to be too tight to enable her leg to arise to the peak of step one at the bus. Slightly embarrassed and with a fast smile to the bus driving force she reached at the back of her and unzipped her skirt just a little pondering that this could provide her adequate slack to elevate her leg. Again she attempted to make the step onto the bus handiest to observe she nonetheless could not! So, just a little extra embarrassed she as soon as once more reached at the back of her and unzipped her skirt just a little extra and for a moment time tried the step and as soon as once more, a lot to her chagrin she might now not elevate her leg considering the fact that of the tight skirt. So, with a coy little smile to the motive force she once more unzipped the offending skirt to provide just a little extra slack and once more used to be not able to make the step. About this time the gigantic Texan that used to be at the back of her within the line picked her up with ease from the waist and located her evenly at the step of the bus Well, she went ballistic and grew to become at the could-be hero screeching at him "How dare you contact my frame!! I do not even understand who you're!" At this the Texan drawled "Well ma'am more commonly I could consider you however once you unzipped my fly 3 occasions, I kinda figured that we used to be peers."
