Every woman likes to think that her partner’s friends are comfortable around her—that they don’t tailor their behavior around her, or keep quiet about certain things, or try only to come over when they know she’s out. But do you really know if that’s the case? Whether you mean to or not, you may put out a vibe that makes your man’s friends feel like they need to walk on eggshells around you and can’t let loose when you’re in the room. Your boo might know that you’re very relaxed and non-judgmental, but if his friends don’t know it, they might be in his ear about you…Maybe you don’t give a damn, and that’s what makes you so scary to them in the first place! But here are 19 signs your boyfriend’s friends are afraid of you.

They make corny jokes
That’s them hiding their real sense of humor. Your boyfriend’s friends can’t really have that terrible of a sense of humor—they just fear their real one will offend you.
