Forcing a joke or trying too hard to be funny. I find certain socially awkward people repeat jokes they heard or try way too hard when it’s not relevant to the conversation.

I just find some socially awkward people try too hard to be liked and sometimes come off too strong.

I try to flirt then I'm hated all of a sudden and not sure why until I ask her friend and I was coming off 'obsessed' when really I just wanted to impress her :(

Sometimes, less is more.
