Making Fun of Self

Do you guys do it? I think I make fun of and laugh at myself before others have a chance to do it to me. That's a coping mechanism I developed over the years as kids made fun of me in school. It is also a way of getting people of like me but I do think the shit is funny. If I didn't laugh, I would have to cry. Hope you all have a great day!!

Hugs & Love,

I find humor in every situation!!!! If it would be hurtful and/or inappropriate to express it, I keep it to myself. But when in comes to being about ME, I let loose!!!!
I consider a good sense of humor to be one of life's saving graces!!!

I don't ... kinda sensitive about being made fun of, but if you say it helps, I will. Or maybe I do already? Tell me if this counts: My phone has a feature that lets me set custom ringtones for everyone in my phonebook list. For my wife, I recorded my own voice saying "vaginaphone".
