I've spent most of my life making people laugh by poking fun at others. I never actually mean to hurt people's feelings, I just mess with people. Most of my friends get that about me, but it's a big habit of mine and sometimes I can't stop. There are some people who I've just met, as well as a few whom I've known for a long time, who think I'm actually being mean. So I want to get into the habit of making fun of myself. It's not that I'm too proud, the problem is that I usually sound dysfunctional and pessimistic when I try it. I need tips on how to point out my flaws in a way that sounds funny. I love making people laugh more than anything and it's high time I show people that I know I don't have to act like a jerk to get a rise out of people. Any advice?
