Hey guys, I wasn't sure where to put this so I thought why not misc. and if a mod thinks of a place where it will get more views then they can please move it there. Anyways I love making people laugh, I love laughing myself, and I love when you find that perfect outside of the box joke. Anyways I really want to be a stand up comedian because it fits these criteria, and I have realized already at age 17 I don't ever want a real job. I pretty much have no talent right now, I stopped playing sports and some of my friends are great skaters, musicians, singers, etc. I feel like I'm missing my talent, a crucial piece of myself, what makes me interesting. And I know I often can see the world through an interesting perspective...outside the box. I feel however like my humor hasn't been coming to me or as consistent in a couple years now, I have been diagnosed with depression and am on Meds for it...could that have made me lose my edge?
I also seem to find myself in many sticky and awkward situations, and I really want to learn how to defuse these situations with a joke. If anyone has any advice on thinking of jokes, being creative, observant, or anything that you think pertains to my post please respond and maybe it will help.

I think it is important for you to avoid those sticky situations. Try to learn from your mistakes and grow from them. Don't use humor as a tool to fight depression, and uncomfortable situations. Try to figure out the root cause of why you are unhappy, and I hope you have the courage to face it. You need a support system of people who can help you. Like us, but more specialized. You really need to believe in yourself.... even if no one else does.
