Perhaps you prefer more serious, thought - provoking content. Funny stories, with their focus on humor and amusement, don't engage you on an intellectual or emotional level that you value. You might be more interested in stories that deal with complex human relationships, historical events, or deep philosophical ideas.
You can simply avoid them. If you're in a social situation where people start telling funny stories, you can politely excuse yourself or change the topic.
I tried to do a home workout video. I was following the instructor, trying to do some high - kicks. But I misjudged the space and kicked my coffee table, spilling my drink all over the floor. It was a mess, but I couldn't help but laugh at myself. It showed me that even though I hate working out, there can be these comical moments that make it a bit more bearable.
I joined a yoga class once because I thought it would be an easy form of exercise. However, I was completely wrong. I tried to do a downward dog pose and ended up looking like a tangled pretzel. Everyone was trying not to laugh, and I was so red - faced. But then I thought, this is actually kind of funny, and it made my hatred for working out a bit less intense.
Here's one. I decided to bake a cake for a friend's birthday. I followed the recipe exactly, but when I took it out of the oven, it looked like a flat pancake. I tried to decorate it anyway, and it was a total mess. I thought 'I hate my life' at that time, but now it makes me laugh. Because it was such a comical disaster.
Sure! There was this time I tried to bake a cake for the first time. I followed the recipe all wrong and ended up with something that looked like a pancake - a very lumpy, burnt pancake. I was so frustrated at first but then I just laughed at myself. It made me realize that sometimes our 'failures' can be really funny and it's okay to not be perfect all the time.
Once, my boss asked me to make 100 copies of a document. I went to the copier, and it jammed every single time. After an hour of trying, I had only 5 copies. When I told my boss, he just stared at me like I was an alien. It was so funny in a 'this job is crazy' kind of way.
Yan Bingyun and Shen Wan 'er were characters from the novel " Celebrating Years." Yan Bingyun was a spy sent by the Qing Kingdom to Northern Qi, and Shen Wan 'er was the eldest daughter of Northern Qi. Shen Wan 'er did not know Yan Bingyun's true identity at first, but she gradually fell in love with him. However, Yan Bingyun did not have any sincere feelings for Shen Wan 'er. He was only using her to obtain information about Northern Qi. Even so, Shen Wan 'er's feelings for Yan Bingyun were very deep. There was no clear description of their ending in the literature.
Well, one time I was at a concert. I was so excited and pushed my way to the front. Just as my favorite song started, my phone rang really loudly. I fumbled to turn it off, and everyone was looking at me. I felt so embarrassed and thought 'I hate my life'. But it's a funny memory now.
I remember when I was in school, I got up to give a presentation. As I walked to the front, I tripped over my own shoelace and fell flat on my face. Everyone gasped at first, but then they all started laughing, including me. It was a mortifying moment but also a really funny one in hindsight. It taught me to always double - check my shoelaces before important events.
