Does anyone else feel awkward inside when the person you socialize with isn’t playful or doesn’t try to make jokes to share laughter? How do you socialize in this condition, and how do you connect with others with out that? Laughter and playfulness makes me feel connected to others.

Laughter and playfulness makes me feel connected to others.

So i’m wondering what other things as well make others feel connected to another person aside from what makes me feel connected, and how I can learn to do that.

And how to converse with someone who is not so playful or tries to make funny jokes.
