Nothing worse than telling a joke that either gets no laughs and getting repeated by someone else who takes all your laughs. I just STFU now and chickle/cry on mute.

Yeah I'm a big chickler myself.

Getting ignored is fine for me, my problem is oversharing and tending to pick the worst moment/places/persons to say something.

I was bullied at school for years for how my voice sounded, that's how I learned to be quiet

You gotta turn that around! Give them reasons to ignore you!

I personally am keen to ramble on about potatoes, although to be fair I don't think this is accurate as it's difficult to talk too much about potato. I mean, potatoes are pretty much a worldwide thing, but do we really know where they come from? It's crazy when you think about the sheer prevalence of potato. But then again it's difficult to find opposition to the consumption of potato, yet isn't it strange how there's no potato religion? Or maybe there is or was. Imagine if we recorded the History of the potato. Imagine just how far back our adoration for potato goes! I wonder what neanderthals did with potatoes...

Shit man. Ever since losing my teeth I sound vaguely retarded so keeping quiet seems like the more opportune choice.
