Inadvertently flirting with guys...

Does any other girl find themselves doing this? This happens in a lot of situations where I'm just trying to be friendly/make friends (?) with guys but when I look back, I have an 'oh shhi' moment where I realize my actions could be misconstrued as flirting/hitting on them despite this not being my intentions at all.

I went to an all-girls school (I'm 18 btw) and wasn't in contact with many guys outside of school so a good proportion of my teenage life was spent with mostly female friends. I used to be a little awkward around guys but just took on the general advice that I should talk to them like I would with female friends (within reason of course) but it turns out that this isn't particularly good advice, especially for someone like me who is quite smiley/giggly/playful/open around female friends.

Are things like cracking jokes or laughing at guys' jokes or smiling considered flirting especially if you don't know the person well? I thought it was normal to just laugh at jokes you find funny (especially if they're good jokes ;)) regardless of gender (if that makes sense) and it's not like I actually physically touch them, for example 'playfully hitting their arm' or 'ruffling their hair' or something lol.

It a little difficult trying to find a balance between being my normal self around guys/people in general without it coming across as flirting. I just can't seem to find the correct balance :confused: It seems like I can't hold a conversation without it seeming like I'm flirting :K:

What do I do TSR?!
