  That or actually processing my emotions with humour rather than externalising that anger by playing the victim, either orther.

    Why does other people asking to understand a joke make you emotional?

      I already said right at the top - explained jokes aren’t as funny. De gustibus nil disputandem.

      Perhaps a little disputandem though, in my experience…

        Are you angry on your own behalf or on the other person’s? That is to say, are you angry that the explanation that helps someone else appreciate the joke will lessen your own appreciation? Or are you worried they won’t appreciate the joke they don’t understand after they understand it?
