The ability to joke in time and ironically reflect an inappropriate remark helps in any company. A person with a sense of humor is interesting in communication and easily overcomes difficult situations. The art of being witty in oneself can be developed.
An important condition for ironic statements is the reaction rate. Many people tend to find a decent answer with a considerable delay when the interlocutor changed the direction of the conversation. Psychologists advise to engage in active sports, which helps to increase the speed of reactions.
Attention to detail
Pay attention to minor details and facts, not just the gist of the conversation. They sometimes contain inaccuracies and reservations on which emphasis can be made. Develop the ability to cling to incorrect phrases. Witty answers and puns can come from playing on the meaning of words.
Pay attention to the general logic of your interlocutor. Combine two conflicting statements into one belief, which will be ridiculous due to the lack of a causal relationship. For example, a friend complained about his health, and before that he told you about the movie. Make a conclusion that the reason the friend feels unwell is due to the tendency to watch horrors at night.
Game communication
The basic principle of humor is that interaction with a partner takes place in the form of a game. Initially, tune in to a frivolous attitude and try to outplay your interlocutor. Consciously exaggerate the event or, conversely, downplay. Change the meaning of what was said by repeating the phrase, changing the main emphasis. To the question of whether the acquaintance was married, one can answer that, in fact, he was not single at all.
Use facial expressions and theatrical gestures to give the statement more comic. Explore parodies of famous people. In them, humorists note personality traits and, through their exaggeration, create vivid and funny images.
