To Joke or Not to Joke?

Daily Ramblings, News October 24th, 2007 @ 0023h

The Singapore government likes to do the weirdest of things, like erecting an ERP gantry outside someone’s condominium!

Anyway, I think I made a comment recently that might have hurt someone else’s feelings. It was made out of an attempt to make a joke, but it went awry and it was misinterpreted. I am ashamed of it and I apologise. For those of you who do not know what is going on, don’t bother.

This leads me to my other point: what of those jokes directed at yours truly? It seems like there is a trend for me to be the joking subject of many situations. I just take them on and don’t really bother thinking about them. I used to be very affected and was too sensitive in the past but due to the efforts (I don’t even know if these efforts are for the good or for the bad) of certain individuals, I’ve grown to just shake them off after a laugh. But it is precisely this attitude that the jokes are sometimes overboard and I do get affected by them, just that I do not show them.

I’m not pointing fingers at anyone. I’m just trying to say that please be considerate to me as well when you make some passing remarks. I’m fine with them most of the time but you could say I am somewhat a rather sensitive person. I think that my personality type shows that as well, somewhat.

An ESFJ who has developed in a less than ideal way may be prone to being quite insecure, and focus all of their attention on pleasing others. He or she might also be very controling, or overly sensitive, imagining bad intentions when there weren’t any.

So here ends one of the rare personal posts I’ve made in a while.
