Blog Challenge, Day 29: What People Misunderstand About Me

I am not funny. I'm going to go ahead and admit that right off the bat. I wish that I was. In fact, I hate that I'm not. I've always been a bit jealous that my sister is so hilarious that people laugh at almost everything she says but most of the time, people don't get my jokes.

What's actually the problem is that most people don't know when I'm joking.

I tend to be sarcastic, like most of my family but I guess I just don't know how to deliver jokes well. So, people tend to misunderstand my sense of humor.

This creates problems because when people don't understand my sarcasm or my jokes, they tend to think that I'm saying something really terrible about them and that I meant it. But I don't. I tell them that I'm joking and they just look at my like I'm crazy.

It's not from lack of trying either. I really do try to portray myself as humorous and make sure that I emote/project the jokes as funny but for some reason, the only reasons that people ever laugh at me is when I do/say something stupid.


I realize that it's not the end of the world to not be funny but if I was, it'd sure make my life a heck of a lot easier.

What do people misunderstand about you?
