Is it me not them

[hellohelloisitgin]

As much I would love to be the one that everyone likes, I think people find me weird, too serious, too outspoken and too direct...
How do you make people you meet at parties, at the school gate etc like you?
I am blatantly not funny and when I am, it is probably a geeky joke no one even gets...
I can't make up stories so probably what I share is uber boring and I found it very hard to lie (well I can verbally but my body language betrays me every time)
This is probably exactly the opposite I experience at work....where I am considered funny self confident caring etc...
What am

I am getting tired of trying (DD1 started school and I am dreading the start of term + socialising with other parents)

What am I doing wrong?

Witsender - that was my point about saying lies, I just cannot make it up, my all upbringing and ethic refuse that, my facebook page is "boring" probably to most of these people who blatantly do not get me but have requested to be my friend in facebook (oh yes they have); so many embellishments or maybe not good for them who have the life of a rock star....I don't, I work (a lot) love to spend time with my DDs and DH and try to catch up with everything else when I am not doing either of these two activities...so yes boring but I love it!
