If you are unfortunate enough to suffer from depression, try using humor to improve your mental state. So, how to develop a good sense of humor? 1, self-deprecation Often look at what ridiculous behavior and ideas in yourself, but not completely deny yourself, the two should be distinguished. It is better to see your life as a drama, and also a legendary romantic comedy. 2. Do something “stupid” You may want to do one “stupid thing” every day. Look at people you know from an unusual perspective and do something unexpected. For example, dress silly, so you will find that after breaking the routine, there will not be terrible things happen, and some things will even be better than the original. Try the “absurdity orientation” way of thinking. If you speak in front of a large audience, but because of stage fright and fall into extreme anxiety, you can consciously focus on their own internal fears, humorously exaggerated, to overcome this fear of failure. 3. Imagine people around you, inside clothes of all colors, who are all naked like you, each eating, sleeping, living and working just like you. Think about it this way and you will eliminate the awe of others. 4.Create wise and interesting expressions Create your own unique and interesting expressions, which will make your disposition pliable and flexible and enable you to better explain and evaluate real situations.
