Being the sarcastic friend is almost a work of art. You need to master the use of tone to generate the illusion that you are kidding when you say something mean. While learning this skill one might go through these struggles.

Trying not to say something mean…saying it anyway but in a sarcastic tone

Luckily with the use of a sarcastic tone you can make your mean comments sound less harsh and more like a joke. This only works on people that don’t know you.

You never know what to do when people take your sarcasm seriously and get upset

Sometimes people are not quite as fluent in sarcasm as you are, and think you are really being mean to them. Thus, they get upset and you end up just standing there not knowing what to do.

You think of yourself as the funniest person ever

This is not exactly a struggle for you but for others because you will laugh at your own jokes no matter what. If your friends are true friends they will set you straight but it won’t stop you from making more jokes.

People are usually surprised when you actually give them a compliment

Whenever this happens, people tend to think you are kidding. Therefore, they do not believe you and call you mean and just say you are being sarcastic. Ugh.

You almost always make a face when non-sarcastic people try to be sarcastic

Nice try.

The need to not do a happy dance when you say something so sarcastic and funny that everyone laughs

Although you want to, you must remain your cool to appear that you do that all the time. If only that was true...

Not understanding how people cannot comprehend sarcasm

This just baffles you. Probably since sarcasm is now second nature to you, you just wrap your head around the fact that some do not understand it.

Texting a sarcastic comment but sounding mean instead

They really need to create a sarcastic font or something...it would make your relationships last longer.

But you sarcastic people need to keep on keeping on because someone needs to ease those awkward moments.
