text: how to make people laugh:)? i wanna know how to make people laugh and also how to start a conversation without looking dumb. be yourself! go ahead and say what's on your mind when you think of something funny, don't think you have to say it in a clever way. people like imperfect people, and you have to be open to people laughing with you, even if it's the way you presented yourself. if you don't get the response to something you say, don't give up! just move to another topic or talk to a different person. try and be as open minded as you can be! :]
