A psychologist explained how not to ruin relationships with people because of jokes
Today, April 1, 2024, Russia celebrates April Fool's Day.
On this day, people are used to playing pranks on their partners, colleagues, and close relatives.
Unsuccessful jokes can ruin relationships with people. The Moscow Agency reports details with reference to Olga Krushelnitskaya, head of the department of theoretical foundations of social psychology at Moscow State Pedagogical University.
It is noted that today is a good reason to laugh. However, there are topics that can ruin everything, such as religious jokes or jokes about values.
In addition, you can't joke about shortcomings, illnesses, failures. This can offend a person.
Topics of sex, politics and financial income levels may also be inappropriate.
According to Krushelnitskaya, before making a joke, it is important to think about how the joke will affect the person.
She noted that successful jokes include ones about children's pranks, animal behavior - anything that does not conflict with a person's personal values.
The psychologist added that jokes should not be offensive.
