comedy to hide sadness

[kuze]

I usually resort to being a bit of a joker when i get depressed. outwardly i see myself as being annoying and not funny but its hard to stop, and usually it ends by someone being offended by something i said, and me feeling depressed some more. its very self destructive really, when i feel down, i basically purposely become a prick, to match my self loathing.

I know what you mean man. Even tho i try not to sometimes the best way to cope with misery is to spread it around to someone else. I try not to resort to that but when i do i try an make sure to take it out on somebody who deserves it (jerk bosses, douchebag coworkers, etc) instead of my friends or family

Watch for the side effects- when you are to be serious, it will be treated as a joke.
Can't really blame them as you have set the presedence.

What the people don't understand is your angry at yourself and this is the only way you can display what's built up in you.

However your part of a big family on here that does understands.

Warm wishes to you.

I never try to upset others, but I've always been a smart ass. And I wholeheartedly thank my father for that trait.

Sometimes my humor isn't appreciated, so I keep most of my thoughts to myself. When I feel my mood starts to sink I turn to humor to cheer me up. The lower I feel, the more desperately I grasp at it until eventually my sadness tints my humor with bitterness. That's usually when I just shut up and don't say anything.

So when I seem to not be posting as much as I usually do, now you all know why.

I just had a fight with my girlfriend for this exact thing! I hate opening up to people because I'm afraid I'll annoy them with my problems. So I Try my best to always appear happy and when I'm not happy at all I try hard to hide it with stupid jokes. Apparently she finds it extremely annoying :/

Maybe we should just say how we're really feeling?

A lot of the worlds comic geniuses dealt with an inner sadness. Spike Milligan for example had bipolar disorder.

I can relate to this. I also make jokes and stuff to hide my sadness, especially around friends. I keep myself strong, by saying funny things about my situation or another subject. But for me it works, it makes me feel more positive.
But I know it's good to show your sadness, sometimes, and talk the pain off your chest, but It's hard for me to start a conversation about that.
Because it brings alot of emotions, but I'm happy there's a site like this

I used to a lot. Like I tryed really hard to make people laugh, I was kind of like Chris Farley, throwing my self in front of everybody making fun of everybody, cursin, being wild and people thought I was funny, but it made me depressed whenever I annoyed people which was frequently. So in 10th grade I talking to anybody because I thought I'd see that same person who annoys people.

So now I take all that out on my dad, and he thinks Im funny but I annoy him a lot too.
