    Thanks for your very interesting post.

    As someone in his mid 60s, I can tell you that it can sometimes take decades of life experience to give a person the emotional, experiential, and psychological skills to be an amusing storyteller extemporaneously and in conversation with others.

    Texting is a very different way of communicating humor, than is being in the same room with people and making them laugh.

    Not only does a person need to experience real life over a very long period of time, but they also have to feel comfortable and confident in themselves.

    That’s been my personal experience, anyway.

    i relate lol. im very awkward and often stutter in conversations, i dont really know how to retain them either. i usually thrive in group conversations irl because ive learned to just bounce off what other people say instead of initiating it myself. it helped me involve myself more in conversations and improve my speaking. i now feel a little better talking one on one with others or within smaller groups.

    First off you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not doomed to be “unfunny.” A lot of people are hilarious in text but freeze up in person. Why? Because texting gives you time to think. In person, it feels like there’s a spotlight on you, and your brain short-circuits trying to be fast, clever, and cool all at once.

    You just have to tell yourself each morning when you wake up:,, oh, that’s funny! I managed to wake up!” And voilà, you’re funny!
    But honestly, just by being happy. Funny will reach eventually.
    Perhaps you are funny and you don’t know that.
    Some people stress about how to be serious. So don’t stress!
