I used to be a much more sarcastic person, but I actually realized when I was a bit older than you are now that I didn't want to do that anymore.

I basically noticed that:

• Sarcasm was generally making people around me feel negative and kind of angry. It would make people dwell on the frustrations of life, which isn't what I wanted people to associate me with.
• A lot of people don't really know what sarcasm is or how to use it properly, so I was getting a lot of people who would just start saying really mean and critical things in an attempt to keep the joke going.
• A lot of... less sophisticated... people didn't really "get" what I was going for with my comments, and so they felt like I was being belittling and attacking them instead of trying to commiserate and unifying with them.
• By using sarcasm a lot, people felt like I was trying seem intellectually superior to them, which isn't what I wanted at all, but it's not hard to imagine why someone wouldn't want to be around me if I was making them feel stupid.

Once I noticed that this was happening, I really made an intentional effort to stop using cutting humor. My relationships improved a huge amount.

In real life, yes.

Sarcasm doesn't come across well in print unless noted as being such. Noting written sarcasm as being such usually causes it to lose its "punch".

Sarcasm can be seen as sincere criticism, and I understand that viewpoint.

If I notice that my sarcasm might be seen as criticism, I'll follow it up with a remark to show that I'm usually just putting forth a "devil's advocate" type of logic, not to inflame anyone or to criticize, but to show that there are different ways of seeing a situation.

From my experience, most people grow tired of hearing sarcasm. I still use it, but not nearly as much as I used to.

Sarcasm is my love language- anyone that is witty and can keep up with my snarkiness and sarcasm is my kind of person...

Yeah, I'm very sarcastic, to the point I have to be careful using it, especially at my job since some people are oblivious as hell to it (especially when I'm sending emails or texts, LOL). I like people that can catch and use sarcasm properly, makes conversation much more interesting if used at the right times.

[CrimsonAngel09]

All the time. Some people have blocked me for it.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I used to just throw sandpaper at people and tell them I was blind, this is how we're sarcastic, but that got too expensive with inflation.

[AviatorTom]

Sometimes I use sarcasm, but people often have a hard time recognizing sarcasm and instead take it as truth. I prefer being honest.

The vast majority of people are stupid. Sarcasm is the only way to deal with them.
