some people say real sarcasm is hard, especially to maintain, and they relegate everybody's (greg*)craft to just being utilization of dumb cutting remarks

i'm still a little confused about the whole phenomenon called "real sarcasm", although i can say that i feel people are quite dubious on whether they are being sarcastic or not, or if they are just sublimating or projecting feelings and are intentionally trying to mislead us

that sense of dubiousness easily comes across as sarcasm to the more paranoid

but it's just that it's possible that people may secretly relate to the more intimate feelings spoken about and use some other defense mechanism (like reaction formation) and call stuff like that sarcasm, because they may think like "ew, looking at myself in the mirror is really gross!" or they may feel taking life too seriously is detrimental to social health and thus do stuff like pretend that it's all sarcasm

as an antidote to this "real sarcasm" notion, people are very afraid to try "real honesty" because it's not a very popular thing. people can talk about how they're being honest and all that junk like "i love you but i'm hurt and i hurt you woe is me woe is you my love and my tragedy whine whine" but those people either say things just for the sake of saying something or they're just kidding everybody with their silly tragedies and dramas that are pretty corny...but is "real honesty" any easier than "real sarcasm"?

however, i'm no psychologist and could very well be bsing or just making a bunch of dumb cutting remarks

oh well. back to playing super c on my nintendo emulator
