"fundamentally wrong"  Maybe.  Sitting around laughing all day isn't going to accomplish much.  Not to mention all the serious types won't respect you if you're in a position where their opinions matter, which seems to be quite regularly as seriousness is one of the basic human traits. 

But when you say "too" seriously it already implies that it's crossed over into the realm of extreme.  How can that be good?  Obviously no one should take themselves "too" seriously.  Yawn

But bringing it back to the psychological trait theory.  It's just one of those things that some people have more of and some less, and some hardly have a serious bone in their body.  It's always the ones at the extremes that can't understand the other side's perspective.  Sure it's always funny when someone is so serious they don't even realize the are making a fool of themselves.  I've noticed this often plays out when someone references pop culture through a quote that the serious person doesn't get and proceeds to respond in a serious tone completely oblivious to the fact that the reference went right over their head.  lol.  Of course the other common traits people complain about because they don't understand are sensitivity, vigilance, conscientiousness, self-confidence.  I'm always hearing from both sides of all of these that the other side needs to see their side and not be so the other way.  Boring.  A novel idea that you never seem to hear is people wondering how they could be wrong about anything and the other person is right and that they should listen and learn something from them.  No, people are pretty sure they are always somehow right in the way they see things.
