At school or university, unfortunately, there is always such a person who behaves like a jester. And when his behavior goes beyond the limits of what is allowed, and jokes and tomfoolery cause only deaf irritation, he wants to say sharply: “Stop clowning around!” So, in the topic of today's publication, we will consider what it means to clown.
Why so?
Such a logical question may arise when looking at the talents of people who love to clown so much. After all, they are full of artistry, they can quickly navigate in various situations, easily grasp the mood of other people, have a great sense of humor and are ironic in relation to themselves. And they are far from stupid. Why are they so fond of clowning around? This is easy to explain. They just crave for attention. And this desire takes them farther and farther, and now preparations are underway for the next comedy performance, where the main role of the "fool" is assigned to them.
But it should be remembered that the school and the university are not adapted for pupils or students of this kind. In an educational institution, only those who are aimed at achieving success in learning will be comfortable.
Unsolved meaning
So, clowning around is a special style of behavior characterized as rude and vulgar. The pursuit of this kind of behavior comes down to amusements and antics in front of people in the hope of gaining their favor. But sometimes it happens that a person laughs so as not to cry. After all, laughter is a rather powerful weapon against fear, anxiety and disappointment. And in the end, it turns out that clowning around is not only fooling around and making taunting and caustic jokes, but also the very way when a person tells the truth under the guise of a jester and a fool. He expresses feelings and emotions about which other people, despite the painful situation, are simply afraid to stutter. A person has a feeling: either he is crazy, or the world has gone mad. Because everyone pretends that everything is fine, but in fact, everything is exactly the opposite. Therefore, from time to time, a person can either yell, now fool around, then grimace. The only thing he will never do is not to laugh when he is really funny, and not to cry when he is sad. He amuses the audience and can cause any feelings and emotions with his behavior. But he himself does not join these feelings. He is a jester. He seems to be saying that all this is for you, but not for me.
Do not worry, but act!
In fact, breaking, making faces, pretending to be a fool and a clown in the general sense of the word are synonyms for "clowning around." This, in fact, is that important way to tell the world around you about your experiences and thus feel much easier. Moreover, the more you scold, criticize, explain, resent such a person, the more he will clown around. This can be stopped if you change the style of communication with such a jester and a clown. That is, you need to behave with him as if he had already become a completely different person. Moreover, it should be remembered that if a person did not show seriousness and nobility, it means that he simply did not have the opportunity to rely on his own experience. Therefore, in your place, it would be worthwhile to show him the right example.
