I often find myself making jokes about silly things - and it often gets me in trouble.

For example, this weekend I cracked what I thought was a funny joke about someone being gay, I'm not a homophobe, I have had gay friends. Sometimes I shouldn't say words... I didn't know the dude I was trying to have a laugh with, but he immediately got violent and angry, almost hit me and really upset me. I mean, I must have really upset him too. I felt guilty, disgusting and I shut down.

Another example is I make jokes about pretty tabboo subjects while at work. I can't seem to stop myself. I don't seem to have any social filter anymore, where as before I did.

My humour can be quite dry and sarcastic, but on the other hand it can also be very flamoyant and over the top.

My only friend says that it's just who I am and I should embrace it. She's got mental health issues as well. But how am I supposed to embrace something that will effectively isolate me from society?

Gah.
