I think it is important to be able to laugh at yourself. Like, to make jokes even in the face of things that aren't funny.

There is a difference between making jokes and humor vs. making fun of something. A good example is a while back one of the members made a "bipolar online quiz" that was funny. Like it had all of the questions you'd take on the online quiz like here at PC, but then it had funny example. Like I remember one was something like: "and when I say it caused you problems, like getting thrown out of Disney Land." It was pretty hilarious and fun. That's finding humor.

Making fun is when someone who obviously doesn't understand is making jokes at the expense of those who are struggling. Like those comedians saying "everyone has bipolar now. Today I am happy, but yesterday I was sad. I must have bipolar."
