What if a friend is bored and tells him jokes?

Personally, when someone tells me a cold joke, I will not say nothing, but respond with a smile. After all, I will smile back when others tell me cold jokes. On the one hand, I don't have to tell this cold joke for nothing, on the other hand, I also echo others. In fact, this is also a manifestation of emotional intelligence. If I don't say a word, people will think of me? Not interesting enough? , even? Cooperation? Neither.

I do have some friends around me who like to tell cold jokes. They are all very interesting. They don't like to tell jokes that make people laugh, but they like complete jokes that can't be funny for a while, or jokes that are not funny at all. But my friends are happy to tell them, like this? Cold joke? It's funny, but it's not funny. My general response is to choose a full smile and respond politely to my friends' smiles. This is also to prevent my friend from showing off, even if it's not funny. Since I tried my best to tell a cold joke, I'm going to give a face to cater to it.

In fact, let's simply look at this problem. Everyone needs a response. Everyone must not like the feeling of being left out. That is, if you say something seriously, you want to get a response from others, and so do the people who tell me cold jokes. Although a cold joke is really not funny on the whole, even my joke can't be caught, I will still choose to respond to others with a smile on my face. On the one hand, it will make others feel that they have not told this cold joke for nothing.

Cold jokes are not funny, but silence is not like yourself? Ignore? How others feel, or what they think of me? Bored? After all, sometimes people tell cold jokes just to amuse themselves. Even if they are not funny, they are a good way to cooperate with others, and smiling is one of the best ways to face cold jokes, so when someone tells me a cold joke but doesn't laugh well, I will choose to respond with a smile.
