I seem to be able to make people laugh, but I can only do it when I'm comfortable enough around them to relax and be myself. So yeah, I can be funny, but the SA stops me from being so in a lot of situations.
Are you able to be funny with you SP/SA

i have always had SA and people from my past, have told my siblings that i was funny back then. I try to crack jokes but i don't say them the correct way due to my SA and go straight the point so the spot light can get off me. I have made people choke on their food nurmerous times at work, from being funny
Nathaniel, I can really relate to what you say too!! 
I can be very funny in RL *sometimes* - yup, sometimes it can be a way to cover up nerves or to just laugh it all off, I do have a well-developed feeling of COMEDY (that can be sadly out of sync sometimes though/RLY bad timing lol but even that is usually waay funny!!) and I think it's a survival skill!! You wouldn't survive without HUMOR in my family long!!
Sometimes you can only LAUGH at your life lol!! (Luckily some of what I say is funny to other people too, haha!! And yeah, sometimes I don't even think about it lol or may say something inappropriate and then go, oi, why did I say that yikes!!)
I try to be respectful and demure sometimes, sometimes words just fly out of my mouth though lol!
I have absolutely no talent for telling jokes, usually can't remember the ending either, though I vaguely remember if someone else says it.. Sense of HUMOR and COMEDY and ability to tell jokes are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS!!
I also only remember very stupid or err, rather inappropriate jokes!! (which I'm usually too embarassed to tell haha!!)
It's easier to use humor with people you know well, either through internet or RL, strangers may have a different sense of humor and may find other things funny..
EVERYONE is able to be funny and use HUMOR - but the difference is are you aware of it or not?
Some people may clam up and say nothing - and some people can tell really bad jokes - and that can be very funny too!! It depends who you're with!! And if you see it or not, and can use it to your advantage lol!
(Not to laugh 'at'someone, but 'with' someone, and at oneself!!)
There is soo much HUMOR on these boards, I think some people here were born comedians!!! Very talented and funny, in real life too!! It may be easier online than in RL sometimes, it depends how you click with people!!
Puma, if people like you enough to do 'nice smiles' you're well-off for a guy with SA!!
It means they care enough about you that they don't wanna hurt you!!
And oi, at least you REMEMBER punchlines - nothing worse than a cousin who'd tell the joke with great spirit and just when she should end it said: oh I don't remember the rest! lol! (But it was funny as hell too lol!!)
And honestly, a friend of ours used to tell really horrible jokes - like the ones about babies and violence ugh grr!! They were NOT funny at all!! But he found them soo funny that we all found it funny too!! And we still liked him!! He was and is a good person!! He just has an... odd taste in humor!! (Didn't stop him to get a gorgeous girlfriend and then a wife who totally GET his sense of humor!! Some other hot girls really DUG his sense of humor too!! I didn't, 75% of the time, I admit, but lol it was funny to see it/them laugh!! lol!!)

I take everything way too seriously when I'm not able to relax and am definitely NOT able to joke....
The inability to be 'funny' comes equally from the tension of fear and a LOT from feeling ****ty and not feeling like lightheartedness or having 0 joking experience... aka not knowing how to translate into words
Laughing at other people's jokes shows to others that you have a sense of humor. Perhaps first work on openly laughing
I find that I'm able to joke around with others that I feel I can trust. Trust involves being open and honest with them, sharing things, and them being equally honest and open with you. Usually they will be if you are..

my jokes mostly comes in conversations.. i cannot do slapsick jokes, or stand up comedy..
sometime i am joking and i didnt even plan it, and people are laughing, but i was serious, but because i like people laughing thinking im funny, even when i wasnt trying to be, i just laugh with them but still wondering what was i said that was funny.
if i didnt had SA, i know i will be so much lively, im too shy to pull silly facial expressions, or just my body language wont match my jokes, so its sounds better online.
i can only joke with people who i think are silly...
i read everyones post, thanks for responding

I think my anxiety (and other issues...) makes it so that's usually all I feel comfortable being around friends. Being joke-y and light. I don't let it be much else with most people. And then if I feel I can't keep that up, and if I'm down, I just won't be around people 'cause I don't wanna project that onto them, and I sure as heck don't want them asking why I'm down.

I can be funny too. I When I am it just comes up; I don't plan on what to say when it comes out of my mouth.
For those who know about my anxiety I do make jokes about it sometimes too.

I can when I don't have SA with me, but it tags along uninvited to almost everywhere I go.
My SA is rude and can't take a hint....
