Finding+Humor

Finding Humor

//This is not finding humor in human difference or// //fallibility but perhaps more the ability to laugh at// //ourselves, and our own frailty. Think about how// //you cope when you get an answer wrong in class.// //Are you able to pick yourself up after a bad grade// //and deal with it reasonably?//

I often find myself humiliating myself. Whether it be stupid things I say or do stupid things. I can remember times when Mrs. Knowles would ask a question to the class, and as multiple students yelled out the answer in sync, I always found myself saying something else with confidence. Turns out I would be wrong, and although only a few people would hear me. I would feel humiliated. However, once I came to turns with the fact that I didn't know and that I now knew the answer, it made me feel more comfortable laughing at myself than feeling humiliated. I try to get by with humor when I feel uncomfortable. It is the best way for me to feel better because there's nothing better to me than a laugh, whether it be with others at others, or with others at me. A laugh's a laugh. http://www.myenglishpages.com/images/voc/reading/laugh2.jpg
