I used to be a kid who laughed at anything and everything. At 22, I see myself never laughing anymore. This is because I've learned that the things I find funny are not supposed to funny. I laugh at pranks, irony, social issues, and the like. But apparently, people think it's wrong to laugh at that stuff.

The more I've thought about it, most of what we laugh at is bad stuff. Why is it funny to see someone fall down the stairs or to laugh at someone unwillingly get 50 pizzas delivered to their door?

Humor is no longer fun for me. I'm scared of making jokes because I unintentionally offend so many people. This is really starting to bother me because it's like others are allowed to laugh, but I can not.

My question to you - is it ok for me to find bad things funny? It doesn't seem so.
