In my case, humor is effective way to know if others understand u or not. You make humor (that you find it's a humor), but not all others understand it a humor.

That's a big one. I think humor can often be a tool to share pain and relief. A group with a stronger connection can stomach and seek out more chaotic and darker humor as well as deeper sarcasm, because there is a common understanding, comfort, trust and shared pain.

Humor brings down walls and people allow vulnerability out.
