As a woman, how do I keep up with witty men?
I’m the only woman working in a group of guys who are super witty. I’m often included in the jokes and I’m usually the butt of a joke (which I don’t mind at all). My problem is that I’m not a quick thinking witty person so when I try to respond to being the butt of the joke, it often falls flat and comes off awkward like I’m upset- which makes me look like a bigger joke lol.
What can I do to improve my responses? Or should I just laugh it off since it’s not natural for me?Although when I’ve done this before they get upset that I don’t react lol. I just don’t want to be awkward.
