Everyone around me is saying that I’m becoming quite sarcastic; that I’m not helping them when they’re down, but instead sting them with a remark that I know is hurtful (and it‘s true). I’m becoming cruel, I’m becoming a total bitch. It’s been happening in the last couple of months, and I do not know what they’re speaking about, because I see

I'm also pretty sarcastic. I just can't help it sometimes. lol. It doesn't bother most of my friends (not that I know anyway) but one gets mad at me everytime I saw something sarcastic.

I can say that I was raised in a loving, stable home, but I have...self esteem issues. Maybe that's what brings it out in me? Who knows. My older brother is also very sarcastic/cynical and I think I take after him.

Self-esteem issues... I would say that's part of it, but that of course is my own opinion.

Yes, I do miss Art.

Well, I don't think I really agree with that. I practically breathe sarcasm (it's something a lot of people actually like about me), but I think I'm emotionally healthy. Well, in the sense that I grew up in a very loving family and was this way long before I went through any sort of emotionally trying times.

Maybe I just understand fully what you're saying here.

That's good then; I'm assuming you also have a healthy self-esteem, right?

[praedial]

heh. a more than healthy self-esteem, i believe.

though, maybe, if you want to dig, i do get a kick out just being mean sometimes. so maybe that's why i'm the way i am. maybe you are right about the whole "perfectly 'normal' does not sarcastic people make". but who's normal, really?

[aleurier]

You do have a point... which reminds me of a topic I'll talk about some other time.

I was going to comment saying "this is false, I'm incredibly sarcastic but I'm not unstable; sarcasm's just funny!" but then I really thought about what you were saying. Yeah, I can be cruel sometimes. I kind of enjoy being a bitch. I guess this would make me unstable? I'm not sure.
I do know that I am happy and confident. I have many friends that I love and that love me, and my sarcasm just weeds out those who don't get it/can't take it. I'm fine with being "not normal".

[aleurier]

I'll say that you're one of the few then, which must be awesome.

sarcasm is your body's natural way of defending itself against stupidity...

jynyfyr... the wise one...

[aleurier]

Ah, that's a good one ;)
