I've been mistaken to copy one's sense of humor for the sake of being funny to the person I'm with, but I can say with confidence that my sense of humor literally rebirths itself depending on what I find funny at such a time. The rest all depends on the company.
Let's review a few Sara personalities. For those of you that read, I guarantee you can classify me as you know me in one of these categories.
In charge Sara:
This Sara comes out when those that I'm with use my confidence to boost their own. I feel empowered - not because I feel better than the people I'm with, but I feel like the people I'm with think I'm better than them. It sounds the same, I know... stupid. But I swear there's a difference. Attitudinal differences include:
- My voice gets deeper
- I don't laugh at my own jokes, nor do I look to you to laugh at them, cause I know you are
- I'm more outgoing to strangers; if we're in a lineup, for instance, I might ask the person in front of us if he likes jazz and how he spends his lunch hours at work or where he bought his West 49 hat and you'll all laugh (but I won't)
- I'll walk just a little bit ahead or in the middle, and I just might put my hands in my pocket like a cocky douchebag
Quirky with a touch of inferiority Sara:
This Sara emerges in the presence of those who intimidate or talk down to me. I probably don't like you that much, but I stay in your company to show you how you don't intimidate me even though you do. I like the feeling of intimidation as long as you don't rub it in my face. Attitudinal differences include:
- Cracking a witty but mild joke about your attitude just within earshot (just outside of it if you really intimidate me)
- Making quirky tale-end comments to your funny statements to prove that I'm funny too, if not funny first, and therefore non-threatened by your comments which others tend to pay more attention to
- Biting my finger when I'm thinking if I think you're looking at me
Passed being in control of my laughing complex Sara:
This Sara emerges in the presence of people that I find funny, and I'm pretty sure they find me funny too. This is a special one - very few people make this Sara show her red face. This is my personal favorite, because THIS Sara never stops laughing (which is something all of the Saras like doing - even the first one) Attitudinal differences:
- My jokes are bound to be random or completely nonsensical
- Instead of laughing out loud, I'll attempt to contain it and push out tears instead of sound
- I laugh a lot
Butch Sara:
You know those girls that are so damn girly it almost makes you sick to be associated with them because of the way they depict your gender? That's when Butch Sara comes out. Ooh, she also comes out around much younger kids, because she wants to demonstrate to girls that you don't have to grow up to be a stuck up bitch, and to boys that not all girls are stuck up bitches. Oh and when I'm doing manual labor. Attitudinal differences:
- I'll wear band t-shirts clearly designed for men, and probably a bandana
- My voice gets deeper
- I'll walk slouched
- I will wipe my nose with the back of my hand (no kidding, I'll actually DO that!)
- My jokes will be more inappropriate
Regular Sara:
This one is someone that anybody will see if they hang out with me more than 5 or 6 times. (She can't hide forever.) She comes out when she's enjoying herself enough to forget about her cover. She's honest, and a little insecure. Her laugh varies between quiet to very loud. She'll talk a little too soon, sometimes regretting what she said - but only for a moment or two. She'll dish out compliments left and right and mean them.
And sometimes, if you're really special, she'll trust you with her hurt.
Love Regular Sara. ♥
love <3
