It works for me mostly. Listen and wait for the right moment add a funny bit or witty quip. Ask questions if there is a lull in the conversation.
Hard part is making funny jokes. The hardest part for me is knowing when to be real. All my advice, when I do it at least, is some advanced masking or performance.
It makes medium to large social much easier to the point where I’ve been called charming and I’m very “successful” at most of them. I’m liked but I feel like some/most friends don’t really know me
