Are you sarcastic or straight forward?

Im pretty straight forward. Even my use of sarcasm is straightforward, if thats at all possible that is.LOL Well, what I mean is that I dont use sarcasm that often. So if and when I actually really mix in sarcasm in my replies that means Im annoyed or frustrated at something. Its not at all negative though, I can respond to a joke with a hint of sarcasm so as to taunt the person who made the joke and actually make things a truly laughing matter.^_^ But during normal conversations and situations, I am straight forward. I also know what you mean by liking people to be straightforward. I really dont like those loaded comments hinting at something like a favor or something like that. For me, if you're asking for a favor, ask for it properly and not pass the buck to me hoping that I would acknowledge the hints and offer it myself. However, a rule of thumb in being direct is that "Be tactfully straightforward." if that makes sense at all.

I have tendency to be sarcastic especially if in a situation where I am uncomfortable. I am also known for being too strait forward (mostly by my in laws) but have had many people refer to me as a B&*ch because of it. Even if I say it nicely. I do not like games and though I try to gear away from them sometime they find you anyway so I just try to stop them in their tracks, but as I said if I am in an uncomfortable situation I do tend to cover my unease with it for good or for bad.

Sarcasm could be bitter and affect people deep inside. So much so, that people with low self esteem could get disorientation. I like straight forward people who are decent and know what to speak when and how. I try to be like that all the time.

So which level would you want me to tune in for my sarcasm. I forgot to wear it today, LOL... Just kidding. I like those jesting and humorous sarcasms, they can be a joy to read and share around with friends. I agree with you, if every time I hear monotonous answers, I'll get bored too.. just a little bit of sarcasm to spice up the day would be greatly welcomed.

Now this is a topic that I could really relate to. I hate beating around the bush. I tell people straight away what I really want to say. Likewise, I also don't like it when I ask people questions and they don't give me a straight answer.

being straight forward causes no problem because you can say what is on your mind without awkwardness and requires no special effort to say what is on your mind. on the other hand, sarcasm or being sarcastic mean the opposite of what seems you want to say and is used to describe or designed to hurt or mock. people hate sarcastic people so i would rather be straight forward like you than sarcastic. thank you for this discussion. ann

I try very hard to be straight forward and try to respond with answers that I could just as easily say face to face to that person. Sarcasm hurts and no-one [including me]likes being on the receiving end of a sarcastic remark...so I always try to keep that in mind whenever I enter into a conversation with a person.

I am only sarcastic in a friendly and playful sort of way. I don't mind a bit of friendly banter. If I am annoyed, I tend to speak my mind though. I think sarcasm if you are arguing with someone can be rude and shows little respect. It's a way of hitting out and trying to hurt the other person and this tends to get either person nowhere at all. - Derek

Hi, divkris! I am very straight forward when it comes to me replying to others. Now when I have someone that is trying to pull my leg then I will be kind of sarcastic but in a respectable way. I try not to get nasty or hurt their feelings..

This is an interesting topic. I have come across many people who givese surcastic replies. I think it is not nice to do that in a pofeessional atmosphere. I am a straight forward person, but very rarely I respond to people with an element of sarcasam. Most of the time I don't understand if people use double meanings or sarcasam. .

I've been told I'm both, but in a funny way. I don't know. Like when my 16 year old starts pushing my buttons how unfair his chorse are I just tell him to save it for his theropist or I tell him it's job training for working with a boss he doesn't like. As far as normal conversations I don't usually or don't think I do. A friend of mine says it comes out and I don't even know when I'm doing it. I don't think it's to take a shot at a person like some sarcasm does, more of a hey, wake up cause that was way out in left field kind of thing.

I am a straight forward person.I think, almost always,its easier to deal with people who are straight forward.Like you I like straight forward people too. When someone is sarcastic, especially when they are very subtle in their sarcastic ways, it can get confusing. I for one have had issues understanding if the person really meant what he/she was saying or if it was one of his sarcastic jokes /comments.

Both! I can straight forward but I can be sarcastic too. It depends on the people whom I speak with. If it's a new people I'll try to be polite for good first impression. After now me for 2 months or so, they will see that actually I'm a straight forward people but I try to be polite. I can be rude and too straight forward when I'm ang

Depends on the person. If I'm annoyed, I'd rather be sarcastic. With true friends, I'm straightforward

Straightforward is what i want to. If i ask, i want direct answers. Sadly, there are time i encounter a person that answer me after of long explanation and justification.If i ask question i want that direct answer and not that long justification and in the end the answer is there. Yes, i love long explanation too before come up to answering my question but most of the time i want straight.

I am basically straight forward but can also be sarcastic when people make me angry.You know one thing nobody likes a frank or straight forward person.They are mostly dislike by all. Because nobody nowadays likes a frank opinion. They like only when you speak their mind. Anyway there is nothing wrong in being sarcastic at times.

Hello divkris this is checkmail and myself i am a straight forwards as much as possible with the peoples as well as my family.Mostly not able to be more straight forward when there are some elders whose feeling cannot be hurted, else i remain totally straight forward. Many of my family members and friends do get hurt because of my nature, but its comfortable for me.It nearly means lying if you aren't straight forward to somebody.

I am a straight forward person and never speak anything sarcastically. In case I feel I am not able to cope up being straight forward I just ignore the topic. Yes, I have dealt with lots of people who talk everything in a sarcastic way, it is irritating to have these people around.

No i'm not sarcastic at all but i'm not very straight forward at all. Actually i seldom point out directly when people make mistakes . i will show my opinion very gently . i think only this way can most of people accept . If you are too straight forward it will be hard for people to follow any advice.

In my way, I dont't like sarcastic talks between people.The prime reason is that my history teacher is a sarcastic person.She often likes souring us on our behaviors.I like those who talks straight forward .These people are straight and I can easily understand what they really want to express.I don't like people of too much shrewdness.After all ,the more sincere we to other people ,the more everlasting trust we will get.
