I’m a jokester and proud of it. The ability to induce laughter is one of the best weapons I have at my disposal and it’s very important to me. After all, if you’re too busy laughing and smiling then there is no time left for frowning and crying. My sense of humor allows me to deflect unhappy thoughts, unhappy situations, and unhappy people. It’s a refreshing thing to see someone go from sorrowful to cheerful in seconds. I get a sense of accomplishment. Some people who meet me may think I have a few screws loose or that I’m lacking maturity. I will admit, your average person doesn’t unexpectedly jump on a table or break out in song. At first the awkward stares, glares, and, insults would bother me. I didn’t enjoy being disliked and it made me feel self conscious. As I got older I realized that although some people were annoyed or creeped out by me, there were others that loved to be around me. I figure if I have friends who don’t mind my zaniness and my affinity for a good time then I must be doing something right. Now I’ve learned to be a much more confident person and to be comfortable with myself one smile at a time.
