was a cooking television show held by a
very good chief, his recipes were very
accurate and delicious, and he really
offered new dishes that were interesting
for me, yet I was so bored of seeing his show and I rather watched another show
less in quality only because he JOKEDJOKED
His jokes were obviously faked and
forced into the scenario in a very lame
way that expressed easily his lack of
confidence! And who wants to learn how
to cook from a chief lacking
confidence?!
But only a few years later he had a
major transition; he stopped faking
jokes and gained more confidence, he actually gave himself a chance to show
what he's really got. Now his show is my
favorite, and very famous and loved all
over the world! And here is the funny
thing, he’s still joking once in while, but
his new jokes are more real, authentic
and in place. He’s become himself not
some other fake person, and that what
people like.
Humor can be very dangerous for your
social image if it wasn't authentic and
well employed, it can express severe
lack of confidence that developed such
a defense mechanism. You'll be laughing but appear to others crying for
acceptance instead of the "cool &
confident" image you thought it draws
for you.
In other words, don't be the "funny
cosine" especially in the first meeting
with new people, and if the situation
called for a joke, go ahead, give it your
best shot, but don't overplay it thinking
that it might impress people, because
what you will get is the exact opposite.
