So my brother has a girlfriend, and I couldn't be happier for him. She is really nice and sweet and all the jazz, but the way she treats me bothers me.
Whenever I try to make a joke or anything of the sort, she acts and looks as if I just called her the N-word or something. As if I had just spoken in a different language, while simultaneously growing a third head. Confused and annoyed is what im trying to say.
It seems that when I try to be friendly, I either come of as really weird or cold.
Secondly, whenever she comes to visit (from a different state) and we all eat together as a family, i always end up making myself look bad. This extends to other family activities too. Whenever I say the wrong thing or make a bad joke, my parents or brother are quick to ostracize me and go on a circlejerk of insulting me or ganging up on me for a little mistake. This always happens in front of her, and when I talk to them about it they say I am simply taking things too seriously, or that I cant take a joke.
Its been so bad that whenever she visits my mood worsens when im around her. And she only ever comes during holidays, so I look like the jackass of a grinch that is trying to ruin Christmas or Thanksgiving. All I want to do is do good in school, do my work, and make people laugh, but I end up looking like this mean guy who hates my brothers girlfriend.
I really don't know what to do. Sorry for the long post.

How can someone consistently make himself a fool in every single holiday
are you sure you aren't exaggerating this?

You are probably acting completely autistic and not even aware of it. Your family just feels compelled to correct you now to save face since there are other people visiting.

Let me explain; i exaggerated and was using holidays as an example, as she came for Christmas. I didn't mean to make it seem like I made myself a fool, as there are plenty other times when the opposite of what i described has happened.

Im not acting autistic, as the same humor is fine with most other people. I understand that she may have a different sense of humor, but the reactions she gives and the rude way she acts towards me is unwarranted.

I can't think of one of the top of my head, but they are mostly along the lines of a dry sense of humor.
For the record, its not like the second I'm around her i suddenly develop and extra chromosome.

>dry sense of humor
Easy to mistake for being a cunt and a downer. Practice something more flippant or just don't make jokes.

>>16627451
I'd just keep my mouth shut around her. Don't even acknowledge her.

You're ugly

Is this the first time you've met someone who doesn't get dry humor?

>>16627586
