Why do relatives joke?

When people are with the closest people, they may joke or say something interesting. But sometimes, these jokes may contain truth.

For example, you may share your inner fears and anxieties with the people closest to you. You may say jokingly, "If I get sick, remember to help me find a better-looking mourning hall." But in fact, behind this joke, you imply fear of death and worry about health.

In addition, you may also share your dreams and pursuits with the people closest to you. You may say, "If I become a millionaire, I will buy you a yacht." However, behind this joke, what you convey is the desire for money and material life, and the desire to share life with the closest people.

When communicating with the people closest to you, even if you use humorous or exaggerated language, you may express your deepest thoughts and feelings.

Therefore, we should respect and cherish such exchanges and better understand and support each other.
