Lesson Overview

1.24 – Using Humor to Hide Pain: Laughing off your pain can make others think you’re fine, but jokes can become armor. Humor is powerful—it connects and heals—but when it’s used to hide, it blocks people from seeing your truth. If you always make yourself the punchline, your feelings stay buried. Try balancing humor with honesty: you can still be funny and real at the same time. Vulnerability doesn’t make you less likable—it makes you human. You don’t have to make others comfortable by pretending you’re okay. Let laughter be medicine, not a mask.
