What you wrote here in the blog is very inspiring and very very true. I always knew my constant use of sarcasm was some sort of defense mechanism and I knew that I am a very sensitive person and because of how sarcastic I am people tend to think I'm evil or thick skinned which is far from the truth. I have a lot of close friends and they all know how sarcastic I am and I guess they learned to filter it out. It happened a lot that I had one of my friend upset due to my excessive sarcasm. And I know that some people never wanted to be friends because of my sarcasm. Many times people think I am trying to disrespect them when I am being sarcastic which of course is "again" far from the truth. The closer the person to me, the more Sarcastic I would be. So the people I am sarcastic with the most are the people I love the most and those are the people I hurt the most (pretty sadistic, huh?!). However as I grew older (almost 30 now) I started following sarcasm with things like "don't take it to heart" or "sorry I was kidding" or "you know I love, right?" etc.... This new approach was no magic stick but I noticed that people are less upset than they usually would be. Because at least they understand I don't hate them or trying to be disrespectful.

One friend recently confronted me (which is why I started reading about my problem); he said that I use sarcasm to distract people away from sensitive soul. It was not new news to me...I knew it all along, but it was the first time someone confronted me. It made me think...Maybe I should change...although sometimes I think that I would lose my sense of humour, that I would end up being a boring person. Almost all my jokes are molded to being sarcastic. I don't know... Anyways I will try to change...I am always thinking that once I get married, I would drive my wife crazy with my sarcasm...Because, I know, I would be spending so much time with her than I ever did with anyone in my life... That is a lot of sarcasm for a sane person to handle....God be with her :-)
