I've considered myself a funny guy but I realized last girl I hung out with that I was really attracted to at first I was being naturally funny, nothing canned, and it felt normal. But once I realized she really got my humor I started trying to make her laugh, and even though she laughed at like 90% of my humor, I could feel the dead air in the 10% really showed I was being a bit try-hard. Even when I was literally about to fuck her, I just couldn't stop fucking around with her. Also I think I use humor to get in the zone because I start talking to the waitress and fucking not around and I even the cashier, although I teased the girl and he laughed.

I feel like it's the equivalent to something Tyler said about how a girl will laugh or make a joke because in a way she can't handle the tension. After this event I just started completely looking at my life and what type of person I've been growing up to be and although I would say being funny has generated probably the most joy I've gotten from life, I know I should probably dial it back.

So basically I just want to know how I should reshape myself if I have to
