How to be more serious?
Of course it's possible. You have to become aware of when you begin to joke. As soon as you catch yourself about to make a joke, drop it mid-thought or mid-sentence. In time you will become more aware of when your about to go into 'joke-mode'.
....although why you'd want to stop joking around and become more serious is beyond me. More people should be focused on becoming less serious and more jokeful. Sense of humor is very important and helps keep your sanity in a relentlessly unjust and unforgiving world.
How to be more serious?
Uhhh... well... first.... u have to kinda... BE MORE SERIOUS!!!!.......... duh, there is no medicine called quickserious
Nope. Seriousness sucks anyway, seriously.
I get in trouble and I don't care, I just forget about it, then get in trouble again. YAY!!!!
yes it is possible. learn when to be serious and when to joke around.
its like the phrase %26quot;there's a time and place for everything%26quot;
When I hear of a very silly jokey let go person become a serious person, it's usually because of loss, pain. I'm not saying go and cut your self, cos it's not that kind of pain. Normally people change a very drastic amount when they lose someone close to them, or something dramatic happens in there life. There thoughts are altered, but if you want to force yourself to b e more serious. It is completely up to you. You cannot go and get an operation to make your mind think some other thoughts, and react differently. If you force yourself to be serious, physically force yourself, you will remain that way if you do it for a long period of time.
Spend more time by yourself (don't shut yourself in your room though), try hanging out with an older brother or sister for a while, and see how they have matured.
wait until you are older... worry less while you still can
I think having a sense of humor is a good thing--it lightens the load from all the heaviness that is constantly around us.
However, there is 'appropriate' humor and of course 'inappropriate humor'. This corresponds with an earlier post.
Since you seem to get into trouble for it, the questions revert back to you. With whom are you getting into trouble? Is it one person or many?
If you want to change something about your personality, you have to first have to acknowlege that there is a problem (which you've already done). Then you have to ask yourself WHY you need to joke around so much: do I seek attention? is the emotionality of being serious too much for me? am I just nervous %26amp; that's just what pours out? am I using my jokes to deflect closeness from people?
Only you can answer those questions, and there may be more than one answer. But when you are able to pin-point what it is (or they are), then you you'll be better equiped to handle what the key issue(s) is (or are).
Hope that helps...
