Short YouTube conversation (uploaded by Hannah Hammond, Apr 22, 2025) in which two speakers reflect on trying too hard to be funny to impress others—especially in dating—and the value of being authentic. Speaker A describes their past habit of forcing humor, feeling awkward and inauthentic, and deciding to live more authentically; Speaker B echoes the comedian-comparison.

I remember all the messages I would send to girls. I thought I had to make them laugh. Every single thing that I said that came out of my mouth had to be funny. Everything I would say, I tried too hard to be funny. And it was like I needed to just try less. But my brain thought that I had to. Like, you want to get a girl like, you make her laugh?
I was like, okay, that means I have to be, like, a comedian.
And so I tried to. And I'm not a comedian. It was coming out awkward and cringy. It was my own damage. I was creating this all in my own head. And I was preceding myself to be less than, and I was overthinking and trying too hard, and it was coming across as inauthentic. And so I live a large majority of my life as an authentic individual.
