How do you respond to someone who takes themselves too seriously all the time?

  • I try not to disturb him and respect his approach.
  • I will use gentle humor to lighten him/her up a bit.
  • In my mind, I'm joking, but I act neutral out loud.
  • I can't resist and will try to see if I can make you laugh.
  • I will openly tell him that life is too short to be so serious.
