people laughing at you but not with you
This is anon as my friends post here.
I play tennis at a club with older girls than me (only like 4 -7 years older). Anyway we have a laugh etc but a lot of the time its me they are laughing at. Im really quiet and usually when I speak its a funny comment im joking and everyone starts laughing. The thing is im really shy and its the only way I seem to be able to talk by comming out with something funny (or what I and they find funny anyway). For example we were in the gymnasium doing bicep laterels (or something can't remember the name) and we had a dumbell in our arm and had to have a straight arm and lower our arm gradually going down for 15 seconds, then repeat for 15 seconds etc so that the arm came down slowly. The instructor told us to start and I was getting tired so for a joke I said 'I don't need 15 seconds I can do it in 4' the everyone started laughing.
The thing is they thought I was being serious as they said after that thats not the point of the exersise etc, I knew that I just felt like saying it for a laugh. Last year they invited me to a pub with them and I only spoke once on the way there when the bar person asked me for id and I didn't have any and swore that I was 21 (which I was) even though I only look 14 but she said 'you need some id that you are 21' and being idiotic for a joke I said well my wisdon teeth are comming through. They never stopped talking about that for 3 weeks.
Im wondering though am I being stupid or attention seeking in any way? They do think im a nerd but why do they keep asking if im serious lol? I have issues like anxiety but do I sound strange?

You just sound shy or slightly insecure. But then, I have a similar thing. Saying funny/stupid comments is like a defence mechanism when you have nothing else to say.
I wouldn't get too bothered about it. I don't think they think you're stupid if you think they think you are a 'nerd. (That was a lot of 'think' for a sentence!).

Well yea but you're making jokes that centre round you 
i.e. not the sort of jokes like 'ooo look at that over there, isnt that funny blah blah etc' .. so they're probably laughin at and with you!

You sound cool and pretty funny!

Yes your jokes sound quite witty. It sounds more to me that your friends aren't getting the joke rather than you making a fool out of yourself.

I have the same problem. I make witty comments and my mates always ask me if I'm being serious and in the end I have to explain the wittiness of the whole thing. it loses all effect after that...

You're over-analysing social sitations, I used to do this with people I wasn't comfortable around. Just go with the flow and do/say what you like, don't think about it afterwards.

well I'l carry on doing/saying what I want then to try and talk lol, I just can't think of anything else to say apart from stupid things that pop in my head im that insecure but if I was just quiet all the time then Id have no friends.
Maybe I am over analyzing though I imagine meeting someone like myself and Id just think the were odd lol.

it is horrid having to explain yourself, i said the whole"its like a dog staring at a card trick" bill hicks quote and he didn't understand that i was saying he just does'nt get the point i was making in the arguement.
he just got pissed of because he thought i called him a dog.

my friends are the same as yours and ive made jokes that they don't understand try explaining them more
you seem like someone whos a great laugh to be around with and thats 1 of the main thigs people look for in boy/girlfriend and its not your fault you're friends don't understand your jokes
