Where do you get your sense of humor from?

Question

Do you think it's innate, or learned? Anyone else get it?

Answer 1

I think that it is a little of both. Learned partially by the way I have seen my family laugh as I have grown up. But also innate, I didn't like the sarcasm of an ex and his family they were very sarcastic.

Answer 2

it comes from the way you look at life, if your serious all the time you probably dont laugh much being you have to have control over things to feel good on the other hand some people in dire circumstances have a great sense of humor because they have resigned themselves from uncontrollable situations so they find humor as a coping mechanism I think its learned when were very young by our own families

Answer 3

God.

And I think it can either be innate or learned, but I think learned is less spontaneous. Innate humor is the funniest.

Answer 4

I'm sarcastic, and I don't know where I learned that. I've always been a smartass ever since I was a kid. I think it's innate.

Answer 5

I thought I had a sense of humor but then I took a personality test and it came back BLANK. Apparently I have no personality.

Answer 6

I don't know cause i was the only one in my family who had a good sense of humor.

Answer 7

both....of course cos u say the jokes(that u surly learn them somehow)but if u didnt born in a family that they have some sense of humor u can't say that and make the other people laugh..

Answer 8

Both. I get my sense of humor from my mother. But Im def. a smartass like my mother. LOL

Answer 9

life gives me a sense of humor.......you learn to have a sense of humor so that you dont wind up wearing a straight jacket....:0)

Answer 10

It's learned. It's a survival technique. First, to deflect conflict. Next, to displace sadness and pain.
