How do you deal with a sarcastic friend?

I would just try to explain to her in the nicest way possible that you don't appreciate her tone. Tell her that some of the things she says can be very hurtful and disrespectful. I know I can be a bit sarcastic at times. But I always try to make myself aware of who I can be sarcastic with and who I can't. If I don't know someone very well I'm pretty good about toning it down as to not hurt their feelings or give them the wrong impression. And I never aim my sarcasm at any one certain person, it's normally about the topic we are talking about.

Well Beauty, I had this happening once with a good GF of mine. I tried asking her this and that, so that I could understand why the change in her behaviour, but she didn't give me any clues. Than I used her own behaviour towards her, and this worked like a magic. When she asked me about it, and how come I was acting this way - I replied with - I am simply doing as you are doing to me for a good while now. She was shocked, and according to her she didn't even notice it. That all of it had to do with the stressful situation on her work,and that this was the way everyone behaved there, sarcastically, and according to her it was a way to "survive" in there. She appologized and we were as good of friends as we were before, and we never had the same thing happening between us again.

Well I’m sarcastic at times- and so is my best friend- but not sarcastic in a bad way- just funny- and neither would be that way to hurt each other- I would tell her that you are being hurt by her sarcastic ways- If she doesn’t understand or does not stop- then I say stop hanging out with her- and she will get the hint-

I think you should talk to her and ask her why is she acting that way, also tell her how her actions affects you and tell her how you feel.

if i had that type of friend, i should try my best to be nice with her. but i'll always keep in mind not to get too close to her. :P

Hi Beautyqueen26, i think sarcastic friend is have in not every body, but if my friend or your friend is have like that, i'm not sure if she/he want to respect if like that, so i/you/or everybody must be carefull

How uncomfortable for you. It's too bad this is happening. Is there any way you would be okay with just asking her outright why she is being so negative/sarcastic? Maybe she has been having problems, and it's just sort of spilling over into her attitude?

try talking to her and let her know that she is hurting you. sometimes we may not realize that we are taking out our anger/frustration on someone we are close to. maybe she is going through a bad time in her life. And if that doesnt help, snap at her a couple of times yourself maybe she would get the message.

i suggest confronting her. it is not safe to assume anything so you better talk to her one on one, this way you avoid confusion. you have to be considerate because a person can be bi-polar sometimes. all of us are bi-polar sometimes. i know i am because somtimes i'm cool and then the second i'm not because something cause me to be that way. you have to understand the person your talking to or you're concerned to, like your friend. maybe your friend needs some help, you just don't know because you haven't ask her yet. if she tells you something and that she needs help, do your best to help her. people looking for help are desperate enough to ask for help so we must help them.

Have you tried talking to your friend about this ? Maybe she is going through a hard time or maybe she doesn't even realize she is doing this all time but no matter the reason you shouldn't have to put up with this as her friend . I would try talking to her and explaining how this is hurting you and how you feel this is affecting your friendship . Best of luck in whatever you decide to do .

she is not your friend. sarcasm is meant to insult you and it show no respect whatsoever.

Hi beautyqueen26! Whatever she is feeling or experiencing, she has no right to treat others in a rude or disrespectful manner. Probably, she is not aware of what she is doing to you. However, you should talk to her and tell her that you are being affected and hurt with the way she is treating you. And tell her this before you loose your calm. Good luck and hoping you can resolve this issue with your friend. Take care and have a nice day!

you know friends are important to us, they help, give their support and sometimes they help us in times of needs and desperation. Thats what friend are for,right? But to have a friend "a sarcastic one" hello that is not nice. for me if i have that kind of friend, i will talk to her/his face that what the point of being sarcastic to me, am i not your friend etc.you have to tell her that what she did is not right. tell him that your hurting. after you do your part but theres is no sign of changees, i THINK all you have to do is leave her alone and dont associate with her anymore, shes not worthy to be a friend. Stop yourself before she will influence you

Hello.I would ask her if there was anything she would like to talk about to me.And explain to her that you noticed that she wasnt the same as she used to be.And say if it goes any furthe that no matter how it hurts you will have to take a break from the relationship because its putting a strain on your feelings.That if shes not able to talk to you in a respectfull way and end the sarcasim,well theres other people out there that will respect you.I went through this before and did the same as i told you.I lost a friend,but gained a new one that did respect me....peanutjar.

I think you should just tell her, if she is a real friend she will understand that you tell her how u feel when she says certain things. There is ofcourse another option and that is threat her the same way she is doing to you. Maybe then she will realize what she is doing. Good luck with the situation
