Who on this site does not get it and what do you have to say for yourselves?
What placements of yours can be blamed for this?

I really want to know. I'm curious as fuck.
Not looking to cast judgement on your inability to get it...just trying to avoid joking with people who get all butthurt over it.

I'm honest. And it's not just that..it's because I wonder what comes across wrong in my typing. It's seriously something that bugs me as of late.

Q: What do you call a joke you have to explain?
A: A pisces mercury joke! Tongue

maybe it's coz u choose a target?
name 1 joke ppl didn't get?

That's the thing, it depends on the joke and the people. I want to know where I go wrong.
It would've been easier if someone came in and said:
1)They're boring
2)They lack substance
3)Whatever else
That's where I am going with this.

Did Firebunny hijack your account? Confused
What's with the "come at me bro threads". LOL.

It's not a come at me bro thread, it's what the fuck is wrong with how I type/what I say.
I swear I make one serious topic and everyone thinks I am trolling.

well in my chart it's my aries merc quincunx your bastard libra cusp virgo merc. Straight Face


I don't know. Are you sure it's just that?
I get along with Mercury in Aries folks.

So timing.
Good, I am getting somewhere. It's just that timing is properly gauged IRL..I have no way of knowing on here.

Posted by SanchoMuyTerrible
It's just weird that you care so much about what people on dxp think of you.


I wouldn't if it wasn't brought to my attention IRL lately. So I am trying to blame some transits.

Maybe it was their Aries sun. All of them have an Aries Sun, one is a Pisces.
Might not work with Taurus.

if my merc was 20 degrees or whatever it wouldn't be a quincunx so we wouldn't have those problems.
it's a degrees thing. not an aries merc thing.

Oh.
Gotcha.

I didn't get it in the beginning. The first few times I ran across your posts I interpreted some of the things said as being a little rude and brash.
But then I noticed your Aries and it was like oh, okay, roll with it lol. Probably just offset my Leeb a bit at first. Now I've gotten used to it I know better.
Not everyone translates well in text. There's a lot of information missing among letters alone.

Yes, this is what I am trying to touch here.
Rude and brash? Yes, I see that. But in my mind I am usually like that with idiotic questions..not when I am trying to be funny.
details
I was thinking about that ands..maybe because I have no Libra? There's nothing to soften me?
Yes PVAF, in my mind Romanian humor plays a huge part in it. I don't really do "playful" yes.

It's not always easy to tell when you're being serious or joking. I imagine that's especially true for posters here that don't know you too well or haven't been around much.
details
I am adding things on my mind list folks. Thank you Big Grin
I wish I could be in your eyes so I can see what you're seeing and this helps.

sometimes seems to be from the Andy Kaufmann school of comedy where you're the only one in on the joke which makes it more about your mannerisms than what is actually said..which some find hilarious from an observational standpoint..but others can find it grating.


Thank you. This I can also see.
*going dizzy with thoughts*

Ugh Walrus..ugh.

I opened a word document and copied some stuff from you folks...including the fish's blank expression -.-

U KNOW WHO IS ALSO NOT FUNNY? CANCER ON THE CUSP LOL. I THINK HE'S THAT ANONYMOUS PERSON TIZ SAYS TAKES SHOTS AT FIREBUNNY'S MOM AND TIZ JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS LOL!


I find him funny.
details
I am going to be me, I just hate when what I say come across wrong. Well not that moment exactly but the moment following it where I feel the need to explain myself. Ugh.
details
I find your comments amusing. Like some of the others said above, I think its difficult to translate humor and sarcasm in text. Some don't or won't get it for that reason. Also, people sometimes just have a different sense of humor and dont find the same things funny that you do. Or they're just grouches! Anyway, I wouldnt worry with it too much unless it consistently comes up IRL.

WHY ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE HITTING ON ME? @__@
^^^That would be my FB impersonation.
Phv: Just decease the push of "You should laugh at with me because I'm Damnata and I told a joke" => Yup, I see that. But for me it's more like "life is dull so why can't we laugh together and at me lol"
Elle: Yeah, maybe it came up IRL lately because of the cross? If you count my mercury as on the libra cusp, I have all 4 cardinal placements in my chart Straight Face
purplerain: It's funny but Aries always get me. They're either easily amused or not give a fuck lol.
I thought about posting this in Validation but not many people I interract with go in there.
I just need to wrap my mind around the fact that humor is always differently perceived depending on the other party..it's just that when I find something funny I always assume the rest of the world finds it funny also. So I get that..but I don't really get that lol.
And maybe if I stfu more, that would also help.
details
Damnata it can be your sense of humor is direct and blunt. And some people can't handle that type of humor. Also factor in how you can be intense with your vocalizations of certain subjects. Last but not least they don't like you cause you ruffled some feathers in the forum chats, so they make a problem with what you say regardless if it is fun or not.
details
Damnata did you make this thread because it bothers you that your humor hurts others? And this is an attempt to improve on your skill because you don't want to hurt anyone you just want to make people laugh correct?

Tough questions NYAA.
I am in a weird mindset over it. I wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't happening IRL also.
It bothers me when people don't get my humor yes. Because then they completely misjudge my intentions which is not to hurt but just..be sarcastic? I thought it was some self esteem issue I have but it's something else and I cannot pinpoint it exactly.
Yes, my purpose is to make people laugh. More like..everytime I meet someone there's lots of laughter and giggles and I probably like that image so much I am trying to force it in a way? Don't know if it makes sense.
details
To explain a real life scenario here:
I really really like people, there's always something interesting about them. It makes me naive and gullible yes. So I meet someone and they seem interesting and I like to talk to them and at some point we'll joke around. If they don't know me well enough...I might hurt them with that? Because they would have no clue my humor is not meant to diss or annoy or upset. I'm just trying to avoid that scenario. In my mind when I get there, there's a very vivid image of us laughing and running around and when they don't get me, that image comes crashing down.
I don't know why I put this much stock into it. Might be selfishness because in a way..I try to adapt so we can talk some more without them being offended? I learn a lot through interacting with people so that might be a selfish behavior on my part.
details
I like how I'm bouncing ideas in my head from this topic smile
details
I don't want them to be funny. I just don't want us to fight over some stupid joke I make.
And God do I make a lot. Foot in the mouth disease.
details
^^I see what you did there. -.-

Yeah I'd say you do seem to try too hard to make something funny or... just to be funny in general.
I'm not sure if that's necessarily a problem or not. Seems like the drive one would need to be funny.
In all truth I think me and you have very similar humor actually. Difference being I usually don't give too much a shit if someone gets offended... it does depend however.

It could just be me then...then again it probably is because aren't most people who think you're funny from the US? You should just move here and work for the NSA. And I should just become a drifter in Idaho.

lol@ work for the NSA.
with my sense of humor? they'd kill me. i don't fit the somber gloomy image.

Okay it probably matters to me I'm just trying to lie to myself.

It's probably why it would feel more efortless with you than it feels forced with me?
*ponders*

I should read speeches at funerals ands. Wonder who'd laugh at my accent then.
Elle..yeah, like your aunt.
This further makes me think of acquiring more cats. They don't like me anyway and I can't win them over with my humor.
details
See, on top of that, I have the uncanny and annoying ability to hit some chord withing someone.
I meet someone new and instead of going for boring questions, I say smthg totally random.
With my Cancer gf I asked her, before even asking for her name
"What does your dad do for a living?"
"He died..a few months ago"
I felt like crap. I know people don't hold this part against me because it's not like I do it on purpose but I still feel bad.
details
Gotta love Cap bluntness.
Don't think it's a problem of coming across as eloquent at all.
I think you missed my point about me finding out some things through other. So this is not something I can find within me by myself. I should get to the root of it yes.
It's way too random because I don't really think of where I am going with what I am typing until I read it and it makes sense. It's like I'm posting out of inertia.
details
^^It was for StillWater.
And you did emphasize some points others touched as well so I'm moving them at the top of the list.
details
Bunnies have become a plague these days, I have noticed.
details
You always come across as annoying, rather than rude or offensive. And even if you're joking, you still sound serious lol. Maybe it's because you spread some bad vibes instead of good? Usually, I don't post whenever I'm in bad mood and I post only the things that could make me laugh or happy about even if it will sound STUPID.
details
These are the kind of threads people usually make before they take a hiatus from dxp or leave it altogether Tongue
details
don't worry, damnata, i get you and i even get your dark humour. i like that part. even when you spread your bad mojo. it's all good.
details
Wait... if Damnata is not satisfied with her humor even if she's funny accdg to some, does this mean she's seeking my approval? O_O

this is appropriate for Damnata:

she's "trouble" Tongue
better watch out!!
details
I dont understand why you care...either people get you or they dont. Its really not the end of the world....
if it bothers you so on here...then just put a disclaimer when you're trying to be funny...problem solved!

btw...I get your humor but I can also see that you do try to hard sometimes.
details
Ultimately this thread is just another call for attention, but anyway..
My two cents: the only issue that is obvious here and you could work on is your terribly skewed perception of how other people take your comments. Most people don't give a shit, your comments aren't gonna change their lives in any significant way. You seem to live in the delusion that you're ruining people's lives just because they don't get your sense of humour. People aren't gonna kill themselves just cause they misinterpret you. Most people also don't care enough to take the time and effort to really try to understand you, if they don't.
