Often, being liked doesn’t require you to be interesting/funny. It just requires you to make other people feel interesting/funny
In most interactions, everybody is heavily self-monitoring and will base their judgement of the success of the interaction on how people responded to them. If people laughed at their joke. If people found their anecdote interesting or shocking. If people agreed with their opinion.
So the upshot for people who are shy or worry that they’re boring is: you don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. Honestly most times all you need to do is take an interest in whoever you’re talking to. Listen. Ask questions/follow-up questions. Laugh at their jokes. And they’ll come out of it thinking you were a really cool person to talk to, when actually what they mean is you made them feel like a really cool person to talk to.
#Treat every gun as if it was loaded. Check it, then check again.
#Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
#Don't put your finger on the trigger till you are on target and ready to shoot.
#Always be aware of what is behind what you are shooting at. Bullets go through stuff, and beyond.
