Chapter 4: A More Fun You with These 8 Tips

Everybody likes to hang around fun people and have a great time. While it’s true that some people seem to be born with a natural outgoing and happy- go- lucky personality that makes people enjoy their company, it’s not all doom and gloom for the rest of us. Similar to shyness and being likeable, being fun is something that you can practice and learn.

These tips won’t turn you into star comedian, but what they will do is to help your friends and people around you start seeing you as fun person. All the previous tips we mentioned about becoming more sociable and likeable are still something that you should continue working on, since they are the first step in becoming less boring to other people.

1) Be More Engaged

You can’t shut yourself in, hang around the house, watch TV or play video games and expect fun and interesting people and conversations to come to you. It’s up to you to get out there to start participating in social situations that will help you show your true personality to people.

Start going to the gym, take a language course or actively engage yourself in some other hobby. This way you’ll not only meet new people who share the same interests as you do, but you will also have more fulfilling day and a lot more to talk about with your friends or colleagues.

Even in everyday situations like the workplace, school, or something simple like visiting a local grocery store, start new conversations. To avoid sounding boring put a new spin on common conversation starters. For example, ask a work colleague, ‘What gets you up in the morning, besides work?’

By being engaged in more life situations, you’ll gain more social experience. By exposing yourself to new situations you’ll have new stories to tell your friends or colleagues.

2) Spice up Conversations with Jokes

Some people will say that telling jokes is art you need to master, but fortunately things are not all that complicated. There are few simple rules you should follow when telling jokes:

Rule 1: Choose the Right Situation to tell a joke

As I mentioned earlier, you need to be very observant no matter what social situation you’re in. That way you’ll be able to tell when it’s the right time to include a joke in the conversation. To give you a few hints, it’s not the best idea to approach somebody you don’t know and start telling a ‘Knock, knock’ joke. Chances are that person won’t even pick up on the fact you’re trying to tell a joke. On the other hand, when you’re in a group of friends or on a break with colleagues, saying, ‘Hey, I have to tell you a good joke I’ve heard’ will get their attention.

Rule 2: Avoid Adult Jokes and Black Jokes

You can get a few cheap laughs by telling an adult joke in an inappropriate situation, but the image people will have about you will change in a negative direction.
