Question

i'm 15
i think i hurt my friends feelings sometimes
and well if i stop joking around ppl are like
OMG are you okay? what happened?
so i don't want to joke around too much but not too little

Answer 1

i think its cook that a girl jokes around toooo much dont fix it!

Answer 2

well how old are you? what situations do you joke around in? all are varying factors, laughter is the medicine of the soul according to some. It all depends on where you are and what your doing. there is a time an place forever thing. i suggest dont change your self but if you find yourself disrupting non social environments like school then you should definitly work on calming down and taking things seriously. theres no particular way to do so, you just have to stay in control of yourself. knowing you have a problem is the first step. next its analyzing why you do act a fool lol, so much. then work on staying in control and not letting things break your focus. other than that enjoy life its too short.

Answer 3

Yes you can fix that! i joke around all the time.You joke when you know its the right time and think if that will hurt someones feelings.I am the person who can't stop laughing.But i do when i have to.If you alreadt do these steps then try to go a day or 2 woth less joking than you usualy do and see if you like that calms you down a bit.If it does not work,find a bunch of friends who love to joke as well.
hope this helped!

Answer 4

Before cracking a joke, ask yourself if it is REALLY the time or place for it. Think of possible results or consequences of your joke. It's all a matter of thinking before speaking! Think of yourself being another person in the situation. Would you appreciate hearing the joke? If not, don't say it! There's nothing wrong with joking around once in awhile; however, if a person is constantly joking around in a serious situation it grows tiring.

Answer 5

just try to be respectful and honest.learn when its ok to be fun and funny and when it's just innapropriate

appropriate :out around with your friends, away from work or school

innapropriate: in work/school during a class, to someone who is going through a hard time and joking would just annoy them, when you're at a fancy dinner or something.

Answer 6

Try to think before you speek. not TOO much or you will be really weird like my brother, but try to take a second to think how the other person will react. Do joke sometimes though.

Hope it helps :-)

Answer 7

I too am a bit of a joker.Try to think before you act.Will this joke hurt another's feelings?Always put others first.There is a time to be serious and a time to be funny.

Answer 8

Not sure how old you are, but just try to keep your mouth shut when a joke is coming out at an inapprorpriate time.
Remember, "less is more"
Don't lose your sense of humor though. it will take you far in life.

Answer 9

whats wrong with joking around I too am like you an Im 47 yrs an Im always joking around.. how many people like you the way you are?

Answer 10

Same for me,
but since people annoy me when im not joking around, and then i get pissed and offend them even more, i just decided to keep joking around and if they get offended its because they dont know me well
my jokes may be mean, but they are not personal

Answer 11

I have the same problem. I just don't care. I know that people really don't know when to take me seriously, so I have fun with that. Just don't let it bother you so much. Life would suck without a sense of humor.
