ok well i'm a pretty funny guy, have a sense of humor and always make jokes around my friends.. i dunno why, but when im with friends who are smarter than me. i feel some sort of pressure and completely lose my sense of humor.. like i try to make jokes but turn out either unfunny or stammer.. i feel that i also lose my sense of humor in front of them..also this happens when im around girls and often girls i like.. like my heart beats really fast and i dont know what to say and lots of awkward silence.. :(

what should it do??
 
Hmm I can kinda relate to that. I'm a girl and when I'm around someone (especially a guy) that I can't read well or find intimidating, my joking around falls flat. But if I'm around someone more shill and easy to talk to, I can get a funny conversation going. So I don't think it's abnormal. I guess just hang out with people you're comfortable with, and try to be yourself
