First, it can help you to identify the thoughts and beliefs that are making it difficult for you to distinguish when people are joking. For example, you might believe that if you don't understand a joke, it means that you're not smart. This belief can make you feel anxious and self-conscious, which can make it even harder to understand jokes. Once you have identified these thoughts and beliefs, we can work together to challenge them and develop more helpful ways of thinking. For example, we might challenge the belief that you're not smart if you don't understand a joke. We might replace this belief with a more helpful one, such as, 'It's okay if I don't understand every joke.
