I feel this so much. Joining in, failing, and just killing the vibe dead. I feel like I've now lost all ability to banter, because "things are funnier when I don't talk" has become so engrained in me. Actually just a few weeks ago me and a group of friends played an online game that's basically bantering through text. I practically ran rings around me, consistently winning by having the funniest comments each time. I heard a lot of comments like "wow, Kiro is actually really funny". Which on one hand feels good to hear, on the other it kinda hurts. Because that's the person I want to be, the person I want to share. But I can't, because 90% of humour is tone and timing which I am just physically incapable of.
