People keep telling me I'm blunt. I don't realise I am being blunt. My friend told me I don't think before I speak sometimes and when I do, it gets interpreted differently to how I meant it. I'm also having a hard time recognising when people are joking, I take them seriously when they are and think they're joking when they're not. I also don't seem to understand when people are being sarcastic. I get nervous in social situations and have always been told I'm too quiet because I find it hard to know what to say to people. I'm gaining confidence and talking more but people say I'm blunt. This is upsetting me

People are nucking futz. Take acting classes so you can pretend to be nucking futz too.
Bonus: acting ability, and especially vocal skills such as drama, public speaking, or story telling will boost your earning power more than any other detail.
