A witty person has the ability to get around difficult and awkward situations, as well as cope with any difficulties more efficiently and quickly. The fact is that excessive seriousness interferes with solving many issues, while a sense of humor helps.

Step 1
It is worth distinguishing between a person who pours out jokes and laughs loudly from a witty personality. A witty person has a creative mindset, and he will not retell all the jokes, laughing cheerfully, but calmly utter one chosen wit, which will produce the effect of an exploding bomb.
Step 2
The fact is that sharpness is not found in the environment, but created by themselves, using the intellect. It follows that, in order to be witty, it is necessary to develop intellectual abilities and learn to critically perceive reality. Try to keep your brain in good shape, even if you go on vacation with your friends.
Step 3
The ability to create sharpness is the ability to find the right associations. Try in everyday life to look for associations in everything that surrounds you. And they can be not only from the world of objects of the same type, but also completely, at first glance, distant, and from that, the association will be more subtle.
Step 4
Instant critical assessment is what was required of us in literature lessons. Ability to use your intellectual and mental baggage, create a number of associations and draw a conclusion. What does it take to develop critical thinking? Read more good classic literature.
Step 5
Pay attention to the English sense of humor - it is he who can be called a model of wit. These are those jokes, the meaning of which is not immediately clear to uninitiated people. And the point here is not so much in cultural peculiarities as in the peculiarities of critical thinking. Read English humor books, watch comedy shows, and you will get a sense of what amazing English witticisms are built on.
Step 6
In a witty joke, it is very important to choose the right time to pronounce the key phrase, that is, not to rattle it down after the entire text, but also not to prolong the pause. The effect that will be produced on the audience depends on this. You can only understand how much it costs to wait in practice.
Step 7
Being witty means not seeing the world flat, but revealing endless connections. The ability to express yourself metaphorically is a valuable quality. Look around more often, peer into everything that surrounds you. Look at people's faces, their characteristic reactions - all this is useful for creating a variety of associative chains necessary in building sharpness.
Step 8
You need to be a strong enough person to tell a subtle joke in a difficult situation instead of showing negative emotions. To do this, it is necessary, as it were, to go beyond oneself and examine the situation from different angles: from the side of the offender, observers, the public, and also our own. When you combine these views on what happened, something versatile and original will be born in your head.
Step 9
Keep your senses and mind always positive. The depressed state, when the sense of humor is at zero - this is a swamp, from which it is difficult to get out. You should be interested in such a mood when, even if you are not in the spirit, you can joke about your own situation. In fact, nothing changes, but it becomes easier for you to perceive it. This is the saving side of wit.
