To cut the story short, the girl thought that I am funny.
Yes, some do find me funny or bubbly. But I think I am a nerd. A funny nerd? Sounds oxymoron. A nerdy hunk isn't an oxymoron (yes, a hunk wearing glasses will get girls wet...) Funny nerd? I imagine someone wearing thick glasses with buck tooth. And unibrow. I'm not wearing glasses though despite the fact that I am a nerd.
So funny nerd... an atypical nerd?
And I got teased by my friends after that. Apparently funny is the new in for a guy. According to some research (and I am too lazy to quote, but you can just google it online... or maybe you know it already) girls like funny guy. Hmmmmm... I don't think I am hot funny, just annoyingly funny... kinda like Annoying Orange. Or Phoebe Buffay... weird funny... or Chandler Bing... funny witty. Prince Philip... Trevor Noah... Huh?
Although being funny is an attractive trait, to me, it's kinda annoying to be not taken seriously. I like being funny (if I were) but please listen to my opinion. Back in medical school, nobody takes me seriously. They thought I am just pulling their legs. Being funny in medical school is akin to being blonde or bimbo. And Patch Adams is a misleading every doctor-wannabes.
Some even think that my PTSD is a made believe diagnosis. Because I don't look like a grumpy, gun-loving Nam veteran. (Actually, at home, I am grumpy... a dark secret that only my family and ex-housemates know). Yeah, Robin William commit suicide is another example, so is Jim Carey... yes, sometimes, our mental disorders makes us creative or funny.
So, I am funny. No, I'm not. Really!
