Find A Friend With A Funny T-Shirt

By Paul York


A social scene can be a pretty heavy burden on your psyche. Parties and bars are just stocked with people who you would rather see fall down a flight of stairs than be forced to talk to. Getting around these human obstacles is a very real pain, but there is a way to subtly help yourself jump these hurdles with the ease of an Olympic athlete. Enter the funny t-shirt.

You will never look at a funny t-shirt the same way again after you read this article, because I can guarantee that you have never considered the psychological affect that your t-shirt can have on the random passer-by who sees it. When some innocent bystander reads your t-shirt, one of two things is likely to happen: they will either laugh and smile at you or they will glance at you and walk on by.

Now your shirt works its duel purpose. If the person who is reading your funny t-shirt is like-minded enough with you, then they will surely slow down of even stop. They want to talk to you. You chose to wear this shirt, which means you must think the shirt is funny too. You suddenly have common ground to stand upon while you begin your interaction. You are no longer strangers, but two people who have shared a laugh.

On the other hand, your funny t-shirt can help you separate the wheat from the chaff without ever getting your hands dirty. People will read your shirt and many people will think it's funny. There will be just as many, however, who think that your "funny" t-shirt isn't worth a second glance. This is a great thing, though, because those people probably wouldn't have enough common ground with you to make for good conversation anyway.

So now that you know the mental affect your funny t-shirt is having on the people around you, why are you not wearing one? All anyone ever wants in life is to make a connection to someone and form some lasting relationships. A friendship is a hard hill to climb, but well worth the effort. A funny t-shirt is the walking stick that helps you take those first steps.
