I'm not goofy, would that put people off?

Just trying to be more ok with who I am. I have a friend who will just jump into random voices, accents, make funny noises (not in a strange way) and stuff like this.
Will pull crazy faces in pictures and stuff like that.
I'm more reserved, i don't think either is right or wrong, I like having fun, joking etc. But I don't feel comfortable doing the above. She's sort of hinted that I'm a bit stiff and need to be funner, I'm not good at accents and I just feel a bit daft with stuff like that.
Does it sound like I need to change or we just aren't compatible?

Some people will like how she is. Some people will like how you are. Your friends will love you for who you are, and good relationships, of any sort, feel good, they don't make you doubt who you really are.

People seem to love that, though, whereas people seem to generally like me but aren't as drawn to me as her.

I can't believe that's true. I imagine she would attract a lot of attention that way but that doesn't mean people love it.

Maybe she's hotter...

But she sounds very annoying. I wouldn't enjoy that behaviour.

Normal People don't put on accents or talk in a sing song voice.

I didn't know how to vote but do not try to be like your friend. She sounds really annoying.

Just be your authentic self

She's said something like I'm not being myself. But this is me, I don't know how to explain. I might occasionally do an accent or something but I generally don't do singsong voices or anything like that.
