Hold In Your Humorby *beyondimpression

Photography / Conceptual

Sometimes we fear to be funny, assuming that we are not funny and we do not show our true fun side due to "shyness". Particularly when we are around people we do not know, we do not know how to break the ice. When do we let our inner Joker loose without feeling like a idiot?
Some of us feel this way... I know I am getting this feeling a lot recently since I am just starting University...
I am a bit anti- social so it is hard for me to figure out what to say to people. But I love to laugh and to make others laugh.. I am indeed a Joker deep down inside, but my Joker side is always trapped within and scared to be shown and to be recognized.

I think this is a wonderful image to go along with the idea in your description. You did a really wonderful job on this image and I think you make a really valid point. I think starting being friendlier with people online in places like DA will make it easier to be more social in real life.

I have been doing a lot of ideas like this based on things I am going through within my phase of my first year of University, being a starving artist, being broke, jobless and far from home. Hoping others could relate and be inspired having the feeling someone else is going through the same thing because I know I feel alone sometimes.
Yes, it is true, to be come friendlier online with people will help being more social in real life. But sometimes it is good to kick yourself in the butt and just talk to actual people.

*nodnod* I can relate and I do feel the inspiration.
I have to kick myself in the butt to talk to most anyone anyway. >.< In real life it is even harder because I can read and misread much more on a face than with words. You know?

Yep! I completely understand. We are just scared assuming we would say something wrong instead of taking the chance to actually say it. Which is sad =/ We should say what we feel.. but we just fear that what we say would sound stupid. But in all reality all we have to do is say it and eventually we would start to feel more comfortable talking. In all honesty, I feel that technology makes us anti-social since it is much easier to discuss things over a screen so we do not see other peoples reactions. Because when we talk to people in real life, we fear their reactions. Over a screen there is nothing to fear but words, which are not very scary. Hence, I would not be able to say what I just wrote in front of a person because I would feel scared that my opinion was stupid to you and everyone else near by. I would just keep quite, losing my opportunity to sound intelligent and to give my assumption. Shyness... makes us miss opportunities -.-

I completely agree.
I think it is much more valuable to try and make real, human communications. Though it is also a lot harder, it brings much more wealth. I'm happy that you are able to express these things online at least. Hopefully you will be able to do it in real life sometime. It's hard not being a part of the social world. People need each other. You know?
I think this is a good first step though. ^^

I also think it is because we fear to make mistakes and we fear to be wrong. Particularly when we are intimidated by new people, unknowing what they are like and they IQ levels.
Like at my University... I start my first day on Tuesday and I just met some people already.. they are "jokers" love to laugh and say silly things. In front of my ACTUAL friends I am that type of person to them. But in front of these new people, I just sit there and laugh wanting to say things but I just sit there quiet and awkward while they are center of attention while I usually am center of attention with my friends. So it is this huge change and it does not make you feel very good. You know you CAN fit it, but you are just scared to try.
