How to help people in need

[aball1035]

I have a friend who always makes unfunny jokes and tries to be ‘one of the guys’ way too hard. I feel that he could make more friends and more sociable if he stopped making those unfunny jokes, etc. I don’t want to be like “Hey man, if you stopped trying with the jokes, you’d make a lot more friends”, but I feel like he doesn’t know but it would help him.

You probably all know people like this (It could be me as well!). What should I say to him, if anything?

Well there’s one of two things that can happen.

He’ll learn over time, that he needs to clean up his behavior and do so.

Or he’ll just gravitate towards other people like him.

It wouldn’t hurt to say something to him. If he does it again, something like, “hey man, mellow out a little bit, you’re trying to hard.”

Tell him the truth in a kind way. Maybe have another bro to back you up.
