Hey all, i just had a quick question about keeping a straight face. Sometimes it's when someone is being immature in class (Funny....but immature in that you feel like you shouldn't be laughing) or when you crack a joke and don't want that nervous laughing to come over you, what do you all suggest I do to keep a straight face? I can usually manage it, but it can come off pretty bad when i can't and just bust out laughing in the middle of class or whatever....Any help would be great. Thanks
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Keep a straight face?

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
If I'm already in the laughing mood, that would make me laugh even more. But maybe it's just me.Originally posted by M2k961
This may sound like a joke, but imagine killing whoever is telling the joke. Feel the rage. Go through the sniping, shooting, or knifing in your head.
Have fun

Create a depressing image in your mind to conjure up right after you tell the punchline. You'll only need to conjure it once or twice, keeping a straight face after a joke becomes automatic with very little practice (it's oddly addictive in a way)
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Be that as it may, it's generally considered bad form for a comedian to laugh at his own jokes. (Especially if he's the only one laughing.)

What works for me: Just think about the thing that is funny. Analyze it. I have always found that cognition and thinking kill funny things pretty well.
I think that it is good to be able to keep a straight face while you say your own jokes because it makes it seem like you haven't even begun to be funny yet.
Another thing that I do is try to not close my eyes but keep the lids half way down, develope a shuttered look and concentrate on your eyes.
Those are all the things that I do, but most of the time I try to laugh because it puts me in a funnier mood.
