I dropped out of school in the 9th grade due to social anxiety. Now i am 17 years old and am looking to make some friends in college. Notice that i missed out on the 4 most important years of socializing, learning what makes people laugh how to be funny, when to be funny, Ive been told before im as funny as a wall:(. Just wondering if anyone has tips on developing a humor.

    I cant think of how. Its just one of those natural things.
    I guess if anything you should know the definition

    Tragedy: Cutting a finger
    Comedy: Falling into a sewer and dying

    Just remember not to take everything so serious. Listen to people carefully but understand that somethings maybe to make people laugh and not to be hurtful or mean. You’ll get the hang of it soon enough.

    Try watching some sitcoms. They always have some funny situations in them or try to see the funny side of them.

    I know with my anxiety and stuff it has been hard for me to laugh with people. Sometimes you just don’t want to hear it. So take your time and listen. Keep a smile on your face.

    You’ll make plenty of friends in collage, some you can even share some of your past with. I’m sure once you get to know them you’ll fit right in.

    Take and never give up!
