be less sarcastic

When I look at my comments on Yahoo Answers and in other anonymous forums, I hate all the sarcastic remarks I’ve made. I don’t do this in my every day life, but as an anonymous commenter, I do it almost every time. It’s as if I don’t believe that the ‘askers’ and other readers are real people with real questions and feelings. It’s only later, when I go back and read all the other comments, that I realize how unkind and asinine I am really being. I want to stop answering with sarcastic, knee jerk comments and either leave it alone or try to be truly helpful. Since “from the abundance of the heart, the mouth gives forth utterance”, I know I must start by changing my inmost feelings toward my fellow humans. I need to grow in love and diminish in fault finding…

There’s a fine line between light, witty banter and being just plain bitchy.

Still, this one is going to be tough. And my crooked smile is not doing me any favors either…

This one is going to be hard, its nearly impossible for me to do this, and i know it bugs people, but i just tend to do this without thinking about it twice. This is one of those that i will have to work on, and hard. But in the end it will make me a better person.

Today I had my manager call me into “the office” to talk about my attitude. It turns out i talk to people in a rather sarcastic down-talking fashion. However I cannot spot myself doing it. I did tell my manager this and all he could say was he’s been doing it to me and i haven’t even noticed. Did he want to provide any help? Good god no. However this is something I am aware i do and it needs to stop. I firstly have to figure out what it is im saying that needs to be stopped, for which i have no idea. lol.

I always thought being sarcastic was a good thing. Like, it’s funny. Right?

Well, I just lost a job I really wanted because they thought I was too sarcastic.

Ordinarily I would swear them off as ‘stupid hippies’ and move on, but now I’m thinking back on other situations and I realize that this is a really bad feature of my personality and that it is stopping me from accomplishing my goals.

I hate that idea of having to edit myself, but I’m going to have to try.

Stupid hippies.

like i said earlier this is the time in my life that i know i need to change habits of mine its not that i want to be sarcasticr even that i mean what i say when i am because i dont. its just a reflex after living in a family like mine who cant show any emotion but that. so in order to change myself this must be one of my goals. to be sincire ( yes i cant spell i know lol) whenever i say something and replace the sarcasm

im nice now… hahaha

haha i am miss sarcasm… i really need to work on that..

I didn’t threw it away, but I slowed it down. Making compliments is actually very pleasant for both the giver and the receiver. It helps being a connection on another level. Worth it!

Someone said tact is for people not witty enough to be sarcastic. It’s true. You got to be able to be sarcastic.

But sarcasm often offends people, it scares them, gives them the idea that the person using it is an arrogant.

I can’t always manage to get the right tone of humor into the remarks, so maybe I should start cutting of some of the sarcasm.

Maybe this way men will start to feel less intimidated around me :P
