We tell jokes to people we know because they understand us better. When someone knows you well, your jokes feel funnier, it's like sharing a secret that only the two of you get. Jokes also help you bond and feel closer.
Examples
- A friend laughs at your joke because they know it's one you always tell together.
- Your mom tells a silly story only you and she find funny because it reminds her of when you were little.
- You make a joke about school, and your best friend gets it right away, it feels like the two of you share a secret.
