Same, my humor is very dry. Everyone seems to laugh, but given it’s very deadpan I’ve made the mistake of being “humorous” around new people who don’t know me. Shockingly I later find their first impression was that I’m a complete ass. C’est la vie.


In university I was introduced to a group of people by a common friend. After ward she told me they all argued about me; half the group thought I was the funniest guy and the other half a complete ass.
