Chapter 88 Don't joke around in serious situations

People have different tempers, personalities, and hobbies, so pay attention to the occasion when joking. Once, a man noticed that a female colleague came to work wearing a beautiful new dress. He wanted to show his humor and said, "Are you going to get married today?" However, when his female colleague heard this, she was furious. In front of all her colleagues, she yelled, "You curse! Am I divorced? Is my husband gone?" This man never imagined that his rather proud humor would be regarded as unsavory swear words by others, and he would get such an embarrassing ending.He couldn't argue, so he had to apologize.

The man got burned because he didn't pay attention to where the joke was being made. Men have a strong ability to tolerate language situations, and ordinary jokes will not cause embarrassment to men; women have a weaker ability to tolerate language situations, and inappropriate jokes will embarrass women, and even "cannot come down."When joking, you should also pay attention to the difference between closeness and distance.Under normal circumstances, when you are with people who are close and familiar to you, even if the jokes are a little serious, it will not affect the friendly relationship.But when you are with strangers, it is not advisable to make jokes, because you don’t know their personality, experience, taste, and privacy, and you may offend them and cause resentment when joking, which is not conducive to mutual understanding and friendship in the future. .

The other party is extroverted, tolerant and patient, and may be forgiven if he jokes a little too much.The other party is introverted and likes to ponder the meaning behind the words, so you should be cautious when joking.Although the other party is usually cheerful, if something sad happens to happen, you can't joke with him casually. Between friends, because the relationship is too good, it is inevitable that they will speak freely and have no taboos, and they always think that joking is no big deal.However, sometimes jokes go too far, can we really open our minds and laugh it off? In the face of provocations, often because the heart is prepared enough, the real harm is not great, but if someone close to and trusting inadvertently stabs one's weakness, even with a smile on the face, I am afraid that the heart is still quite painful.

Respect for others is an important cornerstone of building a good interpersonal relationship. For our dear family and friends, we must firmly guard against each other's divisions, and don't make jokes casually.After all, the last thing we want to hurt is someone we love deeply. When joking, you must master the measure, and you can't make jokes casually, especially on solemn and solemn occasions.If you make an inappropriate joke at an inappropriate time or occasion, it will only hurt your relationship and cause trouble, so you should take it as a warning.
