Self-Deprecating Humor Works

Self-deprecating humor is a tool of the clever. And it’s more relevant than ever in this era of endless online trolls. One individual, in particular, stood out from the crowd with their brilliant self-jab. In response to an article slamming older people still with their parents, they quipped, “My mom says it’s not worth moving out.”

And it’s not just funny; studies have shown that self-deprecating humor can positively affect mental health, reducing stress and increasing feelings of social connection.
