You've lost your sense of humor

You used to be funny — to see the comic side of things, make people laugh, find the absurd in life. Now you meet everything with a straight, humorless face, and your sense of humor seems to have dried up entirely. You have become someone who does not joke, does not see the funny side, and you miss the wit you used to have.

What’s really going on

You have lost your sense of humor and come to a professional humorist — this is like bringing your broken cart to the cartwright, and we shall get you rolling. The funny side is still there; you have stopped looking for it — life is as absurd and comic as ever, and the humor drained not because life stopped being funny but because you stopped noticing when it was, so start looking again and you will find it everywhere. Humor is a way of surviving the hard things, not avoiding them — the wry laugh in a difficulty is not dismissal but survival with your spirit intact, how the wise carry weight without being crushed, so reclaim it for your hard times, not despite them. And spend time with the funny, and yours revives — humor is catching, so seek the friend who makes you laugh and the absurd story, and risk a rusty joke yourself, for the muscle strengthens with use. What used to make you laugh that now passes you by?
