I think there is something wrong with me. When I try to interact one-on-one with a person I always think that I'm not entertaining the other person, as if I'm being boring.
In groups I'm not really the conversation starter, but I always make the jokes or I'm the funny guy, but when the group dissolves and it's just me and other guy I don't do any of those jokes, I just have a normal conversation, something I think isn't enough.
Is there something wrong with me?

You're insecure and have anxiety

Why you really care about this? If you feel like you could talk about something then do it and that's it. It's not like 100% of the time YOU have to entertain people. Chilll

dont give off the impression that it is your job to entertain them. if you act like its your job to serve everyone in life, your job to keep conversationg oing, you are going to be miserable and people are going to treat you the way you act: like a slave.
be your own solid person content in your space and other people will want to talk to you. or they wont. its not your job to keep everyone entertained anon
What do I do if the other person doesnt say anything or starts checking his phone? Does that mean I'm boring them?

it means they are bored. not that you are boring them. unless you invite someone over to your house then sit there and do nothing, then you arent responsible. its not your job to keep people entertained. you are not a social slave. you are not a jester.

No, why do you want to be a clown? Just be yourself and accept the fact that you will not get along with everyone else. Some people may simply hate you just by looking at you.
So I should let them start conversations?

Let me phrase it better... what do I do in those kind of situations?
