Is it normal to lose your sense of humor b/c people won't take you seriously?

I'm a naturally happy, fun person, but lately I've noticed I've been kind of a party pooper.

    Ya see, mine was actually the opposite. My sense of humor is kind of that weird/goofy retarded girl act, and whenever I do it in a joking manner, people actually take it too seriously, and believe I really am like that. So now, I've been acting really, really serious around those people. And feel kinda crummy, because its not fun being so serious all the time. It makes me feel like a bitch. And I think they think I'm a snob now.

      Yeah! I love being known as the person that's 'always happy' and 'fun to be around'. I also know when to be serious and when it's not appropriate, but lately I've felt like I've lost some sense of humor. People are asking me 'are you okay?' all the time now. I feel like a bitch too.

    My first reaction would be to stop giving two shits about what people "know you as".

    You haven't really given me much to work with.
    I will say though, that being created in a certain way for a long period of time can change whatever personality traits or, more likely, behavioral traits and habits that were previously established.

    I joke around a lot, and I've only JUST noticed this in school today but I think I'm going to be more serious tomorrow. My friends think I really am stupid and weird and don't dress properly, when I can actually be really intelligent. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow and see how it goes, being how I am in my head, at least.

      Well, one most recent of many many examples I guess would be I've always been known as the fun, funny one and never seemed serious to others. When I announced I was going back to school for my own Mom even said..."Yeah right. YOU? SCHOOL?" It's shouldn't be a big deal but that one took me back a little. When your own family says pish posh it kind of hurts. I guess sometimes I feel like I'm just a big joke to people.

        How sad this is, i'm so overcome with emotional emotions. It's just not right for your mom to say that, she was so out of line. You must be devastated by such reckless disregard. I mean just because you're silly doesn't mean you're really silly, why can't people just leave you alone.
