Ever run into those people who don't understand self-deprecating humor?

You make a joke putting yourself down one time and then they just take that and run with it as if you find being made fun of to be funny and they really just lay into you any chance they get. It's like woah, it's a sign of humility to do it to yourself but it's just kind of mean to do it to someone else!
Yes, all the time I'm surprised they haven't pulled out a DMS IV and given me a full Dx. based on my apparent mal-adaptive psych. profile. Surprised they haven't insisted on a major tranq. like Thorazine. (Rolls eyes)
There were these guys who would make jokes and i’d joke back and they thought i was serious and tried to tell me it was a joke.. sigh i’m like yeah i know.. sigh

Self-deprecating humor doesn’t work for everyone, sorry. I don’t think most people should even try it.

I know a guy who gets no humour whatsoever only the simple kind.

I don't think I've experienced that

Unfortunately some people get the wrong idea.

I find it's better to not be self-deprecating (or depreciative of others) because there are so many things that are funny in the world

Do it right back to them

Yeah, that's a good gauge to see if they'll make a good friend.
