Agressive to threaten, bully or psychologically harm 3. Self enhancing making yourself the target in a good-natured way for healthy coping withstress 4. Self defeating an unhealthy form of p utting yourself down in an aggressive or "poor me" fashion Popular humour includes witty, dry, slapstick, bodily (toilet & fart jokes), dark, surreal & improvisational.

Maybe I just need to let go and relax and let myself laugh when some good humor comes my way. :-) Louise Smith 6 years ago #14 #23Having the gift of humour to laugh or smile at yourself and to do so for others is priceless ! Maybe you will laugh if it's funny enough or you are relaxed. Laughter is very good medicine Smiling is good too to build trust and rapport You will never be a grinch with that gift ! Proma Nautiyal 6 years ago #13 #22Thank you for tagging me on the post, Louise Smith. I guess it is partially true. I answered the questions truthfully, and without bias. So maybe it is bringing out a side of me that even I didn't know existed. I do make people laugh with some comments, from time-to-time. But truthfully, even though I smile a lot, I am not really a person who laughs their heart out. I do manage to find humor in every situation though. This test tells me I have a shot at being humorous so I will try, maybe. Thanks again for writing it...I thought I was some kind of a grinch, otherwise. Lol!
