I finally learned why my aunt's joke bombing at Thanksgiving was actually on me
She told a dark cancer joke and I got all offended until my cousin pulled me aside and said 'she's literally had chemo 3 times, let her laugh.' Now I just shut up and listen before judging other people's humor. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized you were the one being too sensitive?

Well that's a gut punch, guess I'll stick to puns from now on.

Oh come on, "gut punch" seems a little dramatic for a pun that didn't land. Did someone actually get upset, or are you just overthinking it?
