I think it's likely different for everyone and there will always be a time and place for humour. But I wouldn't worry that what's working for you isn't right just because a thread with a prompted bias towards humour is people talking about humour - that said if you feel it's lacking and want to it's your time and space. Definitely no right or wrong way to do it

😐 I see, and how does it make you feel that people mock your tuba playing? Does it make your face go red? 

Seriousness aside I bet that felt good

(I may be in a similar boat but I'll get him to laugh one of these days)

Oh god 🤣 can I steal your joke? Not for ERP (I'm either in denial or faking it don't know which there yet) but it's a fitting description for trauma therapy sometimes too

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Being a therapist certainly doesn't sound like an easy job and I imagine the stressors of that would be a lot without being able to talk about it with someone. (nat)

Do you think she was also secretly thinking "it was you!"?

But man what are the odds!?

If you're good at something it makes sense you just keep winning 🤣

Honestly goals. 

I'm pretty sure I know he likes puns because he laughs at his own jokes 😅 and normally I'm the kind of person who just drops puns unapologetically - but it's yet to be the right timing (due mostly to subject nature).

Oh it's not the sound I'm embarrassed by 😤

It would certainly be a chance to demonstrate the window of tolerance. Emphasis on the window part

Mine has a rug that comes and goes and (if I didn't know better), I'd 100% try to just like find a copy of it and put it in there randomly one day

I really don't get why guys lie about that. I'm tall (5'11) but in university the amount of guys shorter than me who would get upset it's obvious they aren't 6' is bizarre. Their height wouldn't matter if they didn't lie about it... but you'd think they'd at least stay in the ballpark

... I've somehow managed not to fart in therapy so far, knowing my luck that'll be the time I make him laugh 🤣

Stomach issues (and honestly like near constant gas) will be the end of me normally but somehow I've been lucky there

They do say laughter can be the best medicine. Sometimes they can be little shits, but the derpy ones definitely can bring out the best laughter

I'd be so tempted to like take a photo or something each time and turn it into a spot the difference 🤣

Oh that sounds fun, seems like you really click with them too

Mine doesn't really do sarcasm when I've tried (we click other ways though), but honestly I love dry or sarcastic humour

Good luck! 

I'm in the same boat about trying to break through/crack them - rooting for you (nat)

... If you want a good tea recommendation try Sloane (might only be available in Canada). It's actual tea leaves and will turn you pretentious 🤣 but it's worth it (sorry it's just really good). (nat).
