Sarcasim

Sometimes this kind of people annoy me when I'm talking about seriuous things and I can't really understand their words

For me personally I believe that there is a time & place for sarcasm. I believe if someone always needs to be sarcastic on a regular basis that it just shows that they are nervous. Or are some-what self conscious about who they may be as a person. I know that I am sarcastic from time to time, as I believe we all are at one point or another. I think it's finding the right times to be sarcastic that are important though. Instead of always having to be sarcastic whenever you have someone in your presence. I know that the man my mom re-married is always sarcastic on a regular basis. Sometimes it can be rather offensive. Because of all the years that he has been sarcastic I honestly can never tell when he is being serious. I dislike this because I feel I can never have a serious conversation with him. If I try to he tends to say something sarcastic & it ends up steering me away from even wanting to talk to him. Sometimes his sarcasm can be so rude that I've gotten to the point where I honestly don't like conversing with him anymore. I think people like this are the one's who I try to steer clear of. Sometimes you need to speak to someone on a serious note & if they aren't willing to listen to you.. And are always just willing to throw sarcastic remarks your way.. They honestly end up chasing people away. Some people because they are sarcastic all of the time I have found end up losing people.. Or people will not even want to confide or talk to them due to this reason.. I know this is how I feel when I come across people who always need to be sarcastic. I lived with someone like I had stated above who always acted in this manner.. And it just made me crawl up the wall because I could never really speak to him seriously.. It was terrible.. I realize life doesn't need to always be serious, but it shouldn't just be a joke either in my opinion.. How I handle people like this is.. I don't allow them to get to me.. I believe if you show someone that they are getting under your skin.. That they will keep on continuing this behavior towards you.. Or they will have won because they know what they may have said has gotten under your skin.. I believe this is what they want in the long run.. Another way I will handle these kinds of people is by.. Being sarcastic in return. I find sometimes when I have done this that they will either back off sooner or later. I know I have done this & it has worked when it comes to the man my mom has remarried.. I think more or less he was shocked that I was willing to speak up to him. I usually will handle sarcastic people in these two ways quite honestly. I honestly do think as well as believe that there is a fine line between being sarcastic & just being down right rude though.. And I feel sometimes sarcasm can lead to being not only rude, but very offensive.. I know I've encountered some sarcastic people who ended up making me laugh instead of just offending me.. I think it all depends upon the person.. As some people who are sarcastic take it to far sometimes. In conclusion.. I don't mind when people are sarcastic. But if they have to resort to being sarcastic all the time then this is when.. I tend to steer clear of these type of people.. Or even when I feel I can never speak to them because they never know when to be serious.. I think these type of people are hiding behind sarcasm just so they won't have to be serious.. Or at least deal with things in a proper manner.. Almost like they are scared so will hide behind sarcasm to make themselves look tougher or something.. For me it all depends upon the person who is being sarcastic.. Sometimes you just know when a sarcastic person is going over-board! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

I enjoy sarcasm. Some people just bring it on themselves, really. If you ask a stupid question, you're going to get a stupid answer.

sarcasm is fine with me, as long as you won't let the other person hit the rock bottom with you. if someone's sarcastic, i play along by pretending i don't know about it or i don't even care.

well if im not sure if the person was being sarcastic or not i always ask them. it also helps to know the ppl well enough to decipher if it was sarcasm or not. sarcasm doesnt really bother me too much as ive been known to use it often (though always very obvious). now if you are talking about ppl being sarcastic over the internet or such where u cant actually hear their tone of voice and see their body language i think it gets really diffucult to deal with!

yeah once my mate tricked me with sarcasim saying o i never new that and i belived him.
