After years of taking it seriously myself, I found it's best to laugh about it, because not only does laughing and mocking it drastically reduce its power over you, but it's important to laugh as much as we can in life. We're constantly told to be miserable about everything, every day. That's not how you enjoy life, nor what life is about. Gotta enjoy the little things, even if it's laughing at yourself. Then use the low times to take care of yourself.
Life is hard. Lots of things suck. What you make of it and the people whom you surround yourself with and listen to will determine how things go. Life's not meant to be miserable, nor are you. Anyone who tells you you're not supposed to be happy or find enjoyment in things are against you and want you to fail and burn.
