To be funny

1

Relax. People appreciate being comfortable and safe with their friends and are always up for a good time. You should give off a vibe that makes you feel comfortable in the role of the merry guy and let others have a good time too. So you should relax and everyone will also be more relaxed.

Give small compliments. This will show those around you that they matter to you and that you are not ignoring them.

Laugh a lot. Have an open and relaxed body language. Show others that you are prepared for all eventualities.

Try to be as flexible as possible. Your entourage will be too, if you are tense. Describe yourself!

2

Pay attention to your friends. Exchange glances, put your phone away, and give importance to the people around you. People won't be able to let loose and have fun around you if you seem distracted and have a lot on your mind.

Have an appreciative gaze towards others. Don't make them feel like you're looking down on them or judging them, because they won't want to be more open with you.

3

Pull out loads of jokes. People will want to hang out with you if you're not afraid to play dumb. Here are some ways to be perfectly hilarious.

Do your best to imitate someone you all know, whether it's a teacher or a colleague.

Dance as horribly as possible, pretending it's the best way to dance.

Sing along to your favorite song, replacing some words with embarrassing ones.

Wear a silly outfit or a t-shirt with a silly message.

Don't be afraid to crack a corny joke or pull a silly prank.

4

Try new things. You have excellent reasons to try, if there is something you have never done! Be spontaneous and try something new, rather than slipping away. People around you will find you fun to hang out with, if you're the one who always comes up with new ideas for fun things to do.

Say “yes” more often. Rather than making excuses, try to accept new challenges and try new things.

Check out the last part of this article for ideas of fun things to do with your friends.

5

Keep an optimistic attitude. Although we all have our bad days, you should focus on talking about the good things in your life and the things you plan to do, rather than talking about the little annoyances that annoy you. It sets a positive tone for your social contacts and makes others want to seek out your company.

Try to find two upbeat comments if you catch yourself saying something negative.

You should make an effort to cheer others up if the people around you are depressed, rather than tuning in to their bad mood.

You don't have to pretend or put on a forced smile if you're having a terrible day. You should still make an effort to be more optimistic if you're only mildly bored or know that what's bothering you isn't too important.

If you're really having a terrible day, mention it and move on to something positive. Say something like, “My day has been really tough, but I'm staying positive. »

Gather your friends. Try to form a group where most people like each other or at least make an effort to get to know each other. Have a unifying mentality to bond with each other, even if it's at your expense.

Act with subtlety. If you're with two people who feel like they have nothing in common, find a shared interest that can help them get along.

If you have two friends who don't get along at all, tell one of them something nice about the second person so they can both find common ground.

Help people connect by suggesting fun activities that everyone can participate in, like bowling or musical chairs.

Ask people lots of fun questions. Start discussions. You don't have to push too hard to ask funny questions that can get conversations going and put people at ease and make them want to participate. Here are some of the things you can ask others:

an embarrassing anecdote from their childhood;

a funny show or show they saw recently;

an event where they did everything wrong or got into trouble;

Don't complain too much. It's best to keep your tone upbeat unless your laments are very funny. Nobody likes a complainer or a killjoy. It can make your friends think you're not funny at all. If something really bothers you, write it down or tell a close friend, but avoid complaining out loud in the middle of a group if you want to be cheerful.

Don't let others complain either. Try to deride the subject and lead the discussion in a more upbeat direction, which may be more likely to cheer others up if people around you are complaining too much.

Open up to others. Fun people are comfortable with themselves and are happy to share personal experiences and ideas. If you open up to others, those around you will also be more willing to open up to you and you will create a more welcoming and pleasant environment. Here are some opening topics:

funny events from your childhood;

an anecdote where you made a fool of yourself;

a failed date;

your hilarious relationship with a friend or relative;

a pretty funny summer job when you were still a student;

an unexpected meeting that ended well.

Clinical Social Worker

Accept your true personality . Klare Heston, social worker, advises us: “Having social skills is important, but you should never change your personality to try to be funnier. For example, if you're too shy to talk to someone you don't know, you can try other techniques, such as having more humor or having new experiences with your friends. Remember that there is room for everyone on this planet! »

Know how to laugh at yourself. Don't take yourself too seriously. You can have a great time whether it means opening up to crack a few jokes or clowning around a bit. This will help loosen up the others a bit and it can also lead to some pretty hilarious situations.

Tell a funny story about something that happened to you earlier in the day that might make others laugh. Share your story if you've said something embarrassing, spilled coffee on yourself, or had people stare at you for any reason.

If you accidentally stumble or say something silly, don't act like you're embarrassed or afraid to look weird. Instead, laugh at yourself and admit that you are incorrigible.

Meet new people. The best way to be funny is to accept whatever other people want to say. It's the only way to open yourself up to new people and experiences and have even more fun in the process.

You should have fun and accept someone radically different from you, rather than staying in your bubble.

Each person can teach you something and the more people you know, the more knowledge you can have. Never consider a new person as uninteresting or a waste of your time.

Just say hello, introduce yourself, and ask the person a few questions. You can keep it light when you know her a little better.
