Distinctions - The whatnow behind the internal joke


Internal jokes are often thought of as evil jokes meant to exclude others. The ones who feel this the most are those who are not a part of the group the internal joke is laughed at in the first place. They feel they're being shown where the door is and getting hints and looks as to how it's supposed to be opened and how one is supposed to leave the room, or in this instance, the conversation.

I don't think internal jokes are evil at all. I generally think it's exciting to watch as others laugh at something seemingly meaningless or even nonexistent, and I find this exciting because it means they're seeing something I'm not. And I want to see it too.

You see, we all have our different distinctions, it's how we differ from one another and it's how we tell our friends and acquaintances apart. Now, what's interesting is how friends tend to develop certain distinctions in harmony, and thus joke about them, yes, you got it, this is what an internal joke is, a joke based on something small and most often odd that two or more friends have in common, there, I even explained it further.

I find that internal jokes are a very basic part of ones personality, and that one is dependent on it, and other things of course, to be happy and to.. glow.. yes, to glow. We all like glowing, don't we? It's equivalent to being very very happy, basically. I don't see why someone would rather throw a blanket over a glowing bunch of people instead of simply enjoying their good mood and thus good company. You do know good mood is contagious, right?
