How to stop being 'blunt'? How to know when someone is joking?

People keep telling me I'm blunt. I don't realise I am being blunt. My friend told me I don't think before I speak sometimes and when I do, it gets interpreted differently to how I meant it. I'm also having a hard time recognising when people are joking, I take them seriously when they are and think they're joking when they're not. I also don't seem to understand when people are being sarcastic. I get nervous in social situations and have always been told I'm too quiet because I find it hard to know what to say to people. I'm gaining confidence and talking more but people say I'm blunt. This is upsetting me

or:People are nucking futz. Take acting classes so you can pretend to be nucking futz too. Bonus: acting ability, and especially vocal skills such as drama, public speaking, or story telling will boost your earning power more than any other detail.Story tellers:www.youtube.com/results?search_query=aaron+wilburn (Wow.
