Does being a serious person make it hard for you sometimes?

I don't understand most jokes and if I do understand them I don't see what makes the joke funny.
I don't catch on very quick to sarcasm unless it's pretty obvious that it's sarcasm.
I don't understand most sexual innuendos and that includes when it's used in flirting.
Does anyone else have this problem? I never saw it as a problem until I started noticing over time that I missed something important in a conversation or in something I read. Maybe it's just part of being on the spectrum. I wonder if it's more common in people that have RBF. People ask me what I'm angry about and I'm not angry, I was just thinking about something, but my face gives an angry unapproachable expression I'm told.

When I was an intern, one of my attending physician, mentor, said I took medicine too seriously. I started at him and said back, taking care of patients is serious, if the system interferes then i will get upset! Instill probably take things too seriously, but I think I have helped make the world a better place at some time and place.

Im not really a serious person unless I need to be. I like humour. Everyones different. I agree with what your thoughts on it are if you are on the spectrurm. I know someone similar and things go straight over their head but they highly intellegent in other areas.

I sometimes don't get jokes, especially if they are based on pop culture. You do not look unapproachable in your profile picture.

I have definitely been pushed out of friendship groups because of this. I don’t really get involved in male ‘banter’ and I know a lot of people think I’m ‘lame, stuck up, too serious’ etc.
It hurts but I can’t really stand vulgar, sexual jokes etc.

@Strongtea I do t like really vulgar jokes either. Mild sexual humour can be funny at times.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes, I suppose there’s always a degree of taste involved, some people can make anything funny.

@CuTiePi I think we are on the same page

I don't like vulgar or wicked things, but that doesn't mean a flirty joke or the purely comedic equivalent is unpleasant to me

not a psychiatrist but that sounds like standard ASD stuff.

@BlueVeins Lately I've been identifying things in my life about myself that either caused problems for me or made me feel bad about myself like something is wrong with me and I never knew why. It's been a relief figuring out the reason behind it and more peaceful to accept some of it instead of hiding it. If that makes sense.
Take into consideration it may not be you. It could be in the way someone delivers the joke or sarcastic remark or sexual innuendo. We don't have vocal inflections to help in deciphering what is meant to be serious or jocular.

@onrealityofdreams that's true

I would not worry about it at all. Most if the things you are missing are not worth hearing anyway. I see no problem.
morrgin · F
@BlackPetals I like that thought
BlackPetals · 18-21, F
@morrgin I think you should like that thought. I feel in my gut I am correct. Be yourself. God made you. He does not make mistakes

Oh maybe you are just not used to the lingo and the alt meaning on their sayings idk

I like to laugh at everything when possible but some things are serious

I feel like I get very serious and grave when approaching subjects that need such approach, but when situations are not tense I can be quite playful goofy and silly even

I hate being serious, I always have to clown around and joke about something.

I'm a clown/comedian by nature...

I dont think those things are best described by being "serious", more like socially inept...
