Have you ever seen the way that kids can giggle and practically make themselves ill with laughter? Could you do that as a child? I can remember some vivid incidents where I laughed so hard that I peed my pants. And I'm not embarrassed to admit it, either. (Well, maybe a little.)
As adults, we need to get those pants-peeing laughter moments back into our lives. This time around, though, most of us are old enough to control our bodily functions. It's not always an easy thing to do... the laughing part, I mean. Hopefully the peeing part is much more simple nowadays.
If you have family and friends, you probably share certain facets of your humor with them. Why not explore that funny, silly side of yourself? Read and tell jokes. Even if they're stupid, I bet you'll get a few smiles and giggles -- if only for how silly you are while telling them. Laugh at yourself, and laugh at one another. Good-naturedly, though, of course. Get silly. Stop worrying so much about looking cool to other people, and start enjoying yourself. (And anyway, isn't it soooooo much cooler to not give a crap what people think?)
Watch a movie that looks hilarious to you. Read funny books. Go back and remember the funniest moments of your entire life -- or some of the things you used to take seriously, which you can now laugh as they come into better perspective. Check the internet for things that give you a chuckle. I won't judge you if your idea of humor is Scumbag Steve or those insufferable Lolcats, though I'm partial to Success Kid memes and The Daily Bunny, which tend to be a cute-funny hybrid. If you aren't sure where to start, type "funny" into your favorite search engine, and see what pops up.
