No, seriously, what is that thing that makes us laugh? Is it something specific, or something broad and who defines it?
What makes a thing funny and another boring? Is it a talent that some people are born with?
And what makes a person interesting? Entertaining? Likable?
I stumbled upon all of these questions while trying to make a vlog. At first it seemed easy, considering how effortlessly dozens of people on the internet did it. But then, I started wondering; what if people don't like this and that, what if they think I'm boring and whatnot, what if I'm the dullest person in the history of humanity?
All these questions and doubts are the reason I'm doing this on the first place. But I can't help but feeling a little insecure about my personality; which halts any progress I've made so far.
I tried to watch videos that make me laugh and try to separate the 'element of fun' from them, but all my efforts failed. Simple, regular things were the ones that made me laugh; nothing fancy and rehearsed.
I realised that you don't really have to try so hard - it's like real life; if others get your sense of humour, then good, if not, well, then they're not for you.
Maybe it's that very fear that's holding me back from being the real me; I try to maintain my 'Haters gonna hate' and 'Screw people' attitude, but sometimes I just feel stupid and the least funny person in the room.
But I'm stubborn as a mule and I'll do make this vlog. I don't care if people don't even laugh with me (hopefully not at me) - wait, I actually do care. What I mean to say is that I'll try to prove myself that I am interesting enough to be liked - hell, the planet has 6 billion people!
Whatever. If all else fails, I'll just stick to gaming.
