I read the comment here and haven't see what helped me, so I thought I'd chime in although I might be a bit late to the thread...
I stopped trying to be 'funny' in terms of what everyone else thought was funny - such as like making popular tv references, joshing little things, or 'dad' jokes.
Then started to actually say out loud my own sense of humor, which is absurdist. It changed everything for me, like if you're trying to tell jokes, the only thing that matters is if you find them funny, that is confidance, saying somthing silly you love instead of trying super hard to make others laugh. That was a turning point for me. I guess the advice is 'be yourself' or 'you do you' but that sounds so basic, but it is also true, you'll relax if you stop trying so hard and just be yourself.
