I agree with you, life is filled with lots of depressing fucked up shit, sometimes we need to add some sense of humor.
My attitude stems from my upbringing. I know my mom and dad just wanted the best for me. But kids are not clones of their parents. I was adopted, my adoptive mom is still alive, but both of them were raised to fit a script that boys do this girls do this, boys don't cry, "buck up, be a man", and looking back at that now, I had different genes and a different personality but was raised by parents who followed the social norms they were sold.
It's funny, my mom hated me getting emotional as kid, got frustrated all the time when I didn't do things perfectly her way, in her mind things were simply and you just did them. We have grown so much closer now because she has learned by seeing others she lives with respond positively to my silliness. Cant change the past, she loves me just as much now and certainly back then. But neither of us had a decent understanding of individuality back then.
When I was a kid and burped even if I excused myself, she would freak out. But now when I do it I say "I made it all by myself" and she laughs now. I love the person she has grown to be now. She and I still have our moments and butt heads, but now it is much easier to deal with because we accept each other's personalities much more than we did when I was a kid. She is much more relaxed now.
I don't mind being formal sometimes but I also don't want to live in a 5 star hotel walking around with a stick up my ass.
