Humor to cope

[Former_Smart_kid]

I try to use humor as a way to deal with what I’m going through and I just wanted to get my jokes out there in the world. These are my favorite jokes about social anxiety.

I have a bunch of types of anxiety, like social anxiety which is one of the most common, it has gotten to the point where social interaction is terrifying, anytime I meet someone I just go into a spiral and end up talking about fun facts, which often scares them, like when I tell them squirrels can’t technically die from falling from any height which I imagine makes them wonder if I have tried… which I may or may not have, (three pounds on the chest and point to the air) you were a real one, Steve. The absolute worst though is when you are introducing yourself and you go for a handshake and they go for a fistbump, and then you realize you are in front of the mirror and don’t know who you are anymore.

Humor to cope is a good thing I think . I do the same thing I think. Also have social anxiety and stuff too lol

Anyways just thought I'd say,. I like the jokes. You ever think about doing like stand up? Or have you ever done it?

I’ve never done stand up stand up but I’ve always wanted to try or do something like that and I really appreciate the comment

If you can push through your social anxiety and perform in front of an audience, you’re a better man than I am. 😁🙋‍♀️

Keep a journal of all your jokes. You can go back and fine tune them or build on them. Plus on rainy days they can brighten the mood. 👍🏼

It's something I've been wanting to try out too lol I think only reason I haven't is cause of the social anxiety and everything that comes with it.
