I might sound insane when I tell you; Laugh at yourself!
Yes, you heard me right! Drop that crap and learn to laugh at yourself! The first thing many would say is 'What?!!' It's quite an imaginable response! Actually I have received that several times when I tell this to people! But indeed its quite important you do that because you are hurting yourself as a person by not doing that! You are restricting your development as a human being, as an individual by not doing that!
Laughing at others!
We as human beings tend to laugh at other people! Reasons could be several, many would not be to intentionally inferiorate someone, may be a honest laughter just peeped out! Laughing at someone may be bad or good in accordance with how the 'way you addressed' is perceived by the person opposite to you! If the person who you laughed at is taking it in a positive approach and using it to better himself or herself then yes your contribution is good!
But if you are using it to demotivate someone or your laughing at someone was from a judgemental approach then I tell you, it is hurting them as well as you! You may not realize but yes you need to work on yourself! You somehow are feeling that you are better than the other person, may be you are, may be not, but either-which ways is a dishonorable act!
What is laughing at oneself?
On the contrary laughing at yourself is an act that leads to and is also a result of bigger understanding of self; it in itself means that you know yourself well! It shows that you have an eagerness to better yourself!
No man is perfect!
But lets be honest, we all laugh at others at some or other point in life but think about it we seldom laugh at ourselves! Why!!!!!!!???
You dont laugh at yourself because maybe
- You are perfect.
- You are better that everybody else.
- You think there is nothing you can improvise on yourself?
- Or maybe because you simply did not think of it!
The same way as we tend to laugh at others, we should also laugh at ourself- at our mistakes, our imperfections, our foolishness and all the other things in us that possibly other people may laugh for when they see us or interact with us!
Laughing at yourself will increase your consciousness! You will be more aware about yourself! You will see yourself emerging into a better you!
With that being said too much consciousness may also lead you to feeling unworthy or you may get hold of that 'not upto the mark' feeling which is harmful to oneself! Being positive is ineveitable!

Great post. So there's a benefit to humility?
A very well written post. I completely agree with the point you made in this post. It's very easy to laugh at others, but you need balls to laugh at yourself.
Thanks ! &So true!

oh well, laughing with yourself makes you crazy.. Lol
Yeah, if one can laugh with himself/herself, I think he/she has split personality disorder or some shit! I am talking about laughing at oneself so that he/she can better himself/herself and be living happy but importantly look at life with a positive approach!
good point.
Thank you!
When we learn laugh at ourselves, we are able to take ourselves not too seriously.
Indeed!

Laughter is the best medicine . Joan Rivers said it best, laugh at yourself and no one will ever make a fool of u, she was a comedy legend who made us laugh and question. Life is never too serious, take a break, laugh and enjoy it. Thank you for sharing
