You have to be quick. Just work with what you're given. Whenever you try to force a random joke or gag it never works

Just go for it. Always. Embrace the crickets. No one knows what's going on in your think-piece..

There are thoughts up there right?

Learn to use quick whit. If you're at an event and something happens make a quick whitted response. Normally when I do this it gets people giggling. Even better is how you deliver it and facial expressions. I can't really give advice on that but basically don't sound like a depressed suicidal person when delivering a joke.

So you're not actually super boring.

You're just more comfortable around certain people and then you are more fun to them.

Your focus needs to be on being comfortable in a wider range of settings with a wider range of people

When you also make them feel comfortable then it just becomes natural.

There's a book Called Comedy Writing Secrets, by Helitzer. There's a YouTube channel called Charisma on Command that has good videos too talking about how to be funnier.

Basically you have to train yourself to start thinking funny. Everything you see, you have to explore potential for it to become a joke.
