Getting humour back

[VashStampede]

This might sound ridiculous..

I would like some advice on how to get into a mind set of seeing things through a different light for humour purposes. The funniest jokes i find, or atleast the ones that i used to be good at were because they were completely crazy, irrational, and no normal person would think like that. Kinda like when everyone else is walking on the ground, i was walking on the roof.. on my hands.. That was how random and unexpected my humour and thought process was, and i could recognize humour in the most boring of things. Girls love humour, but I have lost it.. Would watching alot of standup help me to develop my humour? I would like to develop my own style or recapture what I already had if possible, dont wanna be making the same jokes everyone else is, or simply copying what i saw on TV. Does anyone have any other ways of developing humour or being in the right mind set?

I delved into depression for 6 years and have only just come out of that.. I am wondering how to get my sense of humour back by getting that state of mind, attitude and view point back. I am also considering moving onto anti depressants which i believe i should have done long ago. Perhaps when i was 10 years old.. (im 25 now) I think it would help to keep me in an excited, crazy, spontaneous mood, which i believe is directly linked to humour. Someone help me to get my humour back lol

Also, does anyone have advice for a short man? Should i wear big boots to try to compensate? or do people see that as being weak and insecure?
When average sized men and woman wear big shoes, noone cares or seems to notice.

Thanks

Ya, watching a lot of comedy will probably help (it can't hurt). As for the antidepressants, I would do what your Doctor thinks is best, that kind of advice is difficult to give on an internet forum. Generally speaking though, I would say to avoid them unless necessary as prescribed by your doctor.

Try running around yelling "love and peace"

I was reading your post and wondering what the cause for looseing your sense of humor, I was starting to guess then you answered it.

Humor is completely tied to what your mood is. The happier you are the easier it is to notice things and then act on them. All you can do is try to improve you mood. Start taking those antidepressants.

How tall are you? I'm 5'6 but my height only bugs me a little. There are many "short guy" threads just do a search. I'm not too sure about wearing height increasing shoes.

part of it is having a positive view on life, the other part is being spontaneous
and shutting the analytical part of your brain up when you're interactin w/ people

learn to laugh at yourself. if you think you're short, make fun of yourself, it's a good start
