Well depends with who but yes SA isn't stopping me at being funny and silly
I real live is important which persons are making me company and if i'm with someone feeling alright after some time i'm able joking around coz actually if i'm nerves i try hide this in jokes which i say or being silly at moment so i mask mine nerves behavior.

I'm conflicted about this. Sometimes I will remain completely silent in a situation, but suddenly I won't be able to resist if I see an opportunity to make a really good joke. Then I make the whole room laugh and end up feeling like the center of attention and I turn beet red and want to die and wonder why the **** I can't keep my mouth shut.

being funny and silly helps a great deal! You crack a joke and awkward silence is ok. If they laugh it makes you feel more comfortable and people like you for it. So being funny must be one cure

you have a bingo
The thing that happens to me a lot is that I have a real good comment/joke in mind, that I'll be able to start it, but when I try to land it I stumbles HOPELESSLY over words, ruining the smoothness that was necessary for it to be funny.
The soft patronizing courtesy laughs that follow are even worse.. :c

Me too. I gave up saying anything funny to a group of people for this very reason. Half way through the comment I would freeze up when I realize everyone is listening to me and I could not deliver the end effectively.
I no longer attempt to be funny in groups (face to face) anymore.

Humour can be a hard thing to get right sometimes (you do have to judge the appropriateness of your comments to the person you're with) but it can be a good way to cope in awkward situations - for example, when you're only going to be in someone's company for a very short time.
I feel quite comfortable with it, but couldn't maintain doing it for long. That's no bad thing, though. A little bit of light and shade makes for better company, I think. You can only laugh for so long, just as you can only cry for so long.
As long as it's not forced or contrived, humour is a good way to engage with other people.

Yes. I have a good instinct for timing and what kind of joke but lack the words usually. Or go blank... or butcher it when speak. Never been a good joke teller or story teller verbally...
HOWEVER - when I'm comfortable and at my best, I can be pretty witty. I have a lot of physical humor, (and have a very expressive face) that's inevitably my main source of humor I fall back on, ppl always laugh, and a bit quirky and mischievous actions. Also say things off the wall.
Also a bit dry, and then opposite and quirky and and wacky and bubbly. As maybe could tell on these forums. =D
I wish I took things with jest and fun like I do here in RL... lol. Another thing that probably detracts from humor, looking miserable and down and nervous.
I definitely wish I could be more free in person;

Social Phobia doesn't stop me from being funny.
Actually, being all silly helps me to feel more confident about myself ::
But sometimes I can be too crazy hehehe
Which makes me think I acted like a silly fool But People like a litlte humour, laughing is a good medicine
So this jokeful medicine really helps me dealing with SA.

You have the exact kind of humor I like. That epic/quirky/dorky (yet clever when analyzed) type of humor.
I was personally very good at it in highschool, when I had a class where everyone was friends with one another. Good natured ripping and comical scenes (sometimes spontaneously acted) just kinda happened. And not just one or two people either, about 7 in almost perfect sync.
Good times. :3

I can't crack jokes or be funny around alot of people, even if it's a group of friends/acquaintances. The only time I'm able to let loose with humor is with family or very close friends. I've had maybe 3 very close friends where you kinda develop your own inside jokes and silly behavior with each other, so that I can do. Only problem is I have no close friends anymore.

A lot of it is gibberish. But... funny gibberish.

Being funny and joking around is one of the few times I actually feel comfortable in a group. As long as everybody's laughing, its easy to not be anxious. Laugh hard enough, and you feel too good to even care what people think about you.
The downside is one second I am in a group and cracking jokes and making everybody laugh, and the next second, people are wondering why I suddenly clammed up. Or, at least in my mind, that's what people are wondering - Ive only ever had a few people ever ask me about that.

No! Absolutely not! I think I'm a witty person with my family and my friends...Unless they're just pity laughing. :|
But, I don't even know why people show interest in me otherwise...I'm probably so serious and studious at school. Well, I know I am. Once I get comfortable with a person it's easier to show a bit of humour. Though, it takes awhile for me to get comfortable...Those who stick around long enough for that to happen are wonderful.

i think i'm too placid and self conscious to be funny around people usually when i'm under pressure which is essentially everywhere, around family, public, at work, i never really feel comfortable enough to say much at all in the first place, i know i have a silly and fun side and most of the time i am like that inside my head but outwardly? not really. don't have the confidence to let it out unless its around someone i am close to which is not even family.

People sometimes laugh at me, even when I am not trying to be funny. Meh, I don't care. Laughter is the best medicine they say and when someone is pissing themselves at my expense I can't help but join in. I don't try and be funny I really don't, sometimes words just slip out though, because some things are too good to be left unsaid.
