Lost my sense of humour

LegacyUser

This is a very serious issue and I want no-one taking the piss

I think I have lost my sense of humour. I can't honestly remember the last time I laughed or found anything funny.

Is this a medical issue, because it worries me very much

BTW I am not depressed, in fact I enjoy life, I just have no sense of humour

Tbh it does sound like mild depression. Or a personality trait.

Your age?
Did you use to have more fun than now?
Are people commenting on this alleged loss or is it something you only notice yourself?

Are you a person who usually takes things in your stride/never has mood swings etc? Some people are just not easily moved.

If you believe it's a medical issue you should def talk to a doctor or psychologist.

sorry mate but maybe you've grown out of the things you used to find funny. i dont know how old you are but id try looking at different types of humour - maybe a darker comedy.
on a day to day basis you might need to let of a bit off a bit of steam or maybe keep different company that you have more in common with.

start smoking weed dude....everything starts to become funny

haha I was only thinking the same thing about myself this week. I still find lots of things funny but stuff I used to love doing like indecent exposure and little childish things dont cut it for my anymore. I feel quite boring sometimes due to the less manic behaviour as i've grown older. A few of my friends feel the same.

Growing up isn't for me..

I was like this a couple of years ago as well..just didn't find things funny anymore. Everyone else would be in stitches laughing at something and I'd just think it wasn't that funny. Regarding the post that says ''start smoking weed dude'' I would strongly oppose this. Weed makes everything seem funny, but only when you're smoking it. Afterwards I felt sh!t after smoking it and thought this was the reason why I didn't have a sense of humour anymore..thought the weed was fu**ing with me..probably was. Long stopped smoking it now and I'm still unsure as to what was the cause was. Also it may be depression..I'm depressed and on meds. Luckily I have since regained my sense of humour though.

If you took the issue less seriously maybe it'd be funnier. Wanting no-one to take the piss is exactly the problem, is it not?

Really I don't think there's anything you can do except wait it out and don't be worrying. Sometimes tiredness can affect whether you find things funnier / less funny. Personally I'm one of the most easily tickled people. Some days I'd sit down to watch a lame, old cartoon like Tom & Jerry and actually be in uncontrollable fits of hysterics. It's a funny thing...

Here's a Chuck fact to get you started:

Lmao.

It could be that your sense of humour has changed. Try different shows and something may strike you. Brasseye ftw if you want edgy humour



It could also be the company. I don't find simpsons funny unless I watch it with someone.

Sleep deprivation or eating too much sugary stuff makes me laugh.

But sometimes, I have no sense of humour either - it's whithered with the years.

i agree. where the **** did mine go? i'm only 16

In my teens I never found childish pranks funny, found my peer's incredibly immature, ironically I find all those things funny now in my mid 20's (*cough*)! I laugh at almost anything now!

I'm also a lot more happy in myself now than I was back then, I wasn't depressed, I was reasonably happy but I really didn't know who I was, I think thats the major difference between now and then.

Probably just a phase.

maybe your fed up or just bored lately?

Awh, lighten up will ya. It gave me a laugh and maybe will do the same for the OP.

OP, where did you have it last? did you check behind the fridge?

Have you had a fall or slip on your arm recently? This seems like a classic case of a fractured funny bone.

What age are you? Some teenagers go through the worst times, where crippling and acute self-awareness makes it hard for them to relax and find anything funny. This does not last, though, don't worry.

If you are older, you could be under too much stress - all work and no play etc

Sounds like a sub-life crisis. Buy a porsche. You'll be grinning then (as long as you don't think about the loan repayments :eek:)
