Finding humor in everyday moments is a way to be artificially happy all the time. Oftentimes, you’ll find that comedians are the saddest, most depressed beings there are out there. We use humor to transform the pain, but once the audience leaves and the laughter dissipates , we’re reminded of what was underneath the smiles and nods. Humor is our coping mechanism, our way of masking our unhappiness. It seems slightly ironic, but since when has human behavior ever made sense?
For me, I make fun of everything. I make fun of the fat guy down the street, the child screaming on the plane, and the fact that I can’t play any sports. I squeeze laughter out of the toddler dropping his ice cream cone on the ground, the person miscalculating their jump and landing right into the rain puddle. Anything and everything—I know the right words and the right way to say them.
But when I’m alone, the sadness slowly starts to creep in . It comes in slowly, and then once I start to feel like it’s gone, it rushes in and envelops me. I guess sadness has a sense of humor too—it starts to leave and then psych ! It’s back. It’s during moments like that when I realize that funny has its limits—you need an audience for it to work. You need to hear people’s laughter to confirm that what you are thinking isn’t sad, it’s hilarious!
You will often hear comedians poking fun of themselves. People mistake that kind of humor for lightheartedness , an ability to not take oneself too seriously. But that confidence is often unearned and false. It’s a way to market our insecurities and turn it into something worthwhile. If my shortcomings can make other people happy, then why not? Why not? Why not?
