Once again, someone said i was very funny (ok, she said funny but i know she meant very funny). All the while, i was just feeling so depressed. Yes, while those around me were laughing, thanks to my jokes, i felt like crying.
As i searched for an answer, came across this: "They crack jokes, then they crack up".
Obviously, i am not comparing myself to the great comedians mentioned in the article but i think it applies even to those of us who are not comedians in the professional sense.
Just how do people figure out how to be acceptable to other people?
Me? I think i may have blown all my chances with people. Thus, was thinking of getting a hamster / guinea pig / chinchilla. Did initially consider a puppy but it is too ex and i have too many insecurities. Well, a rodent for a rodent then.
ps. Guess what? Seems these rodenty thingies also have so many issues! Dun like to be handled, need lots of space etc. Guess it is now down to fish (until they go belly up) or a plush toy dog. How did my life come to this?!
