I said it one and I say it again. I hate being called "funny". I want to be called anything but "funny". Being "funny" to me, is a coping mechanism. I want to be called "dependable", "compentent", "smart", "compassionate", "a good listerer", '"charismatic", "easy going", "creative", "strong", "emapthatic", "loyal", "a good friend", "kind", "iron-willed" or "good company".

I know that I'm "funny", "funny" is all had, have and will ever have in my life and you don't need to remind me of that.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

My quest started from being called funny, to growing and learning more about myself in ways that lead to me being called a good number of those other things you mentioned. Even if only once. And I cherished those times dearly.

However, when my mentality breaks down every so often because of depression, like I've been going through lately, I always just go back to "funny" and work my way back up, while reminding myself that I just need to keep putting in a touch of effort to make it back up out of the "funny guy" rut again.

I'm not any sort of specialist on this, and am not saying this is a way that works for everyone though, just sharing my thoughts and experience in the matter as I definitely empathize with your TED talk.
