Most of the people I meet I don't find particularly funny or interesting, but I'm trying to interact with them so I can become a more interesting person, improve my social skills, and hopefully find a gf someday. Should I just straight up tell these people that I don't like their sense of humor? And if I have to continue to pretend, what are some tips on feigning interest?

No one ever finds videos that they're forced to watch funny
>>
>>18026228
She sounds like a bore, honestly. Did you indicate you were interested in Harry Potter whatsoever? If no, then she's just socially maladapted.
>>
>>18026228
Don't laugh at anything you don't find funny. Don't tell people outright that their humor sucks either. Humor is subjective, after all. Just carry on with the conversation as usual
>>
>>18026228
You can send them some spicy 4chin memes to improve her sense of humour and have a good idea about what makes you laugh
>>
>>18026235
She's not that bad compared to most girls, and she definitely isn't gf material(has a bf). I'm just trying to make friends, but it's hard finding people I find appealing, and when I do find someone I don't want to piss them off or embarrass them by cringing at their humor.
>>18026236
Would you just sit through the whole 5 minute video and then say you didn't like it? How would you play off that situation without laughing or insulting the person?
>>
>>18026248
Read How to Win Friends and Influence People. That's a good start.
>>
>>18026248
Usually, a simple "meh" suffices when I get asked if I liked whatever I was shown. Neither insulting, nor dishonest
>>
>>18026247
I don't want people thinking I browse 4chan.
>>18026254
I don't want to seem lazy or ungrateful but I'm already reading like 2 books at the moment and struggling. I might check it out later, but I could really use some on hand advice right now.
>>
>>18026272
Yeah 4chan is a dirty secret
>>
>>18026254
>>18026272
Read the fucking book.
>>
>>18026263
>Meh
Sums up my life.
Anyway, how do you still have any friends?
>>
>>18026228
Iktf op
Most people are stupid and boring and I'm not even that smart. I hang out with smart funny people so the average person is so fucking boring.
>>
>>18026521
Very funny

>>18026485
Self help books are fucking gay bro
He should read actual philosophy, not 48 laws of power tier bullshit
>>
>>18026540
Do you know what the fuck "How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies" even is you fucking cuck?
>>
>>18026548
Yeah, it's a lame self help book for social retards
>>
>>18026228
Kek op, this happened to me so many times. I understand your pain.
I always react the same way as you did, so i can't help you with this
