One thing i have learned today

Post Reply New Topic

It seems that i take things very seriously, like from jokes, simple statements, passing comments, or anything i came across at all, i take them very seriously. So i pledge to take things easy whenever, its really hard because i have to catch myself when it happens.
Does anyone here have this, i should say habit, or problem? like me

I often take things literally word for word. Which can be mistaken for too serious by a lot of people. It usually takes me a little while to work out on first meeting if someone is being serious or not.

So much of my humour is based on taking something literally - to its logical extreme, which can be very funny - to me, anyway.

I also have difficulty telling the difference between jokes, and sarcasm or outright insults. When in doubt, I assume it's a joke (but obviously that's not a perfect solution.)

I take things too seriously sometimes, and sometimes I dont take it seriously enough...but either way I over analyze everything I do and say way, way too much.

Yes, me too.
I can not easily understand peoples intentions. Dont know if i have to laugh, defend my self, ignore someone etc
I try to use logic, but does not work all the time...its just SO hard to understand sometimes

i do too, sometimes. I used too do this a lot more.

i still take things literally but not as much as i used to...

i particularly had problems with sayings...

i was told once to get off my high horse
i replied that ive never ridden a horse nevermind a really big one!!

i now relaise how silly i must have sounded but at the time i didnt know what it meant
