The Importance of Contextualizing Your Behavior

I think maybe some of both. But the easiest one is like, I don't know, let's say you go out and do something, you tell a joke, how could you possibly know if it's funny without other people? Like there's just no way to know, right? You have to have some way of contextualizing your behavior to make sense of it. The only way you can know what it means is through other people that argue, like real or imagined they don't have to really be there.
