    Joe is talking about the _Theory of the Limited Good_ -- what he calls the famine mentality. I remember thinking kind of like that when I was in my teens. It leads to resentment of anyone's and everyone's success. I knew a guy years ago -- a real black pit of a human being, a dark narcissist -- and I could tell he was one of those. He hated me because _he_ wanted to be "the intelligent one', and thought I was robbing him by being smart. I think eventually he started to work out his psychological issues, but for several years he created havoc in the lives of everyone he came across.

Considering no one here has anything riding on it, and I have nothing to gain from it other than the benefit of sharing knowledge, it should not matter to you whether I'm lying or not. Some people just have an innate distaste from an honest admission of their own value.

If it's not creative writing, then it's more like sales, acting, public relations, communication skills, etc.

    You’re humble enough to admit it and for that I respect and appreciate you. Too many people these days are arrogant pricks thinking they’re gods gift to the world , the fact your even able to admit your faults puts you on the scale of the upper 50% of human beings . Be proud 🎉❤️

    About those timing laughs, it can be reversed as well. Way back when I was starting out, I came up with what I thought was a "clever" premise for a joke, but not a particularly funny one. It was about how the Catholic Church honors saints on the days they died, instead of their birthdays (because martyrdom) and call it a "feast" of that saint ("feast" here meaning "festival"), and my idea was that the only ones who "feast" when a Christian becomes a martyr are the lions. The trouble was, even though I thought the concept was clever, I couldn't figure out a way to make it funny. Then it hit me. If I tell the joke in a way that I know is going to bomb, and then have a much better follow-up joke about the fact that my joke bombed, I can get a laugh and still have used the clever premise. So I deliberately changed up my speech rhythm so that it WOULDN'T trigger a laugh response, but with just enough of a pause that the audience would realize a split second later that there was supposed to be a laugh, and then, hit them with the REAL punch line. And it worked like a charm! Me: "The Catholic Church celebrates something called 'feast days,' honoring the day that a Catholic saint died. A Catholic dies and they call it a 'feast?' Yeah, for the lions!" (Audience is awkwardly silent.) Me: "Too soon?" (HUGE laugh from the audience!)
