Why am I so sarcastic?

Maybe it’s a defense mechanism.

Some people like sarcasm. Some people love sarcasm, I’m sure. I don’t, personally, but that doesn’t mean that my opinion is necessarily right. If it is bothering you, work to change it, if not, then just accept that you will never be able to please everyone.

Maybe it’s biterness, a feeling that you have been hard done by and that you don’t deserve it. Usually that brings sarcasm to the surface!

Sometimes it’s humorous, but as @DigitalBlue notes it’s also a defense mechanism.
Making a sarcastic statement means you aren’t saying what you really mean, even if the sarcastic statement alludes to what you mean, it’s never quite clear.
It can be useful to ask yourself, from what are you hiding?

This is very interesting.

Its hard to tell from what Im hiding…

If I try hard and think, I guess sometimes when I’m sarcastic, I do feel more “power” or even “superiority” without even trying. It comes naturally with sarcasm. And that makes me comfortable with the moment+myself.
Strange…
Sometimes the sarcasm goes too intense, and I find myself playing for 5 minutes and the person sometimes don’t even realize it.

I’m not sure if I should try and be more normal and blunt. But I’d like to know why I am how I am.

You may feel more superior partly because you feel safe, behind the sarcastic statement.

When you ask yourself, ‘what is really my point?’ you can think about ways to deliver that point clearly without being ‘blunt’. One of the most graceful fellows I know would somehow make a bit of a joke about the matter, so that all parties involved can come away from it feeling friendly.

The other party is way way more likely to learn something from you if they have not been ridiculed or embarrassed. Conversely know that the other party is very unlikely to learn anything from you if they are embarrassed or made to feel stupid.

So it comes down to what do you want. If you want to make someone feel bad there are lots of options including making them feel stupid. If you want teach something put yourself in the student’s shoes.

Now only a little of this applies if you’re being sarcastic about something impersonal, like politics. You might not be saying what you really mean, but it’s not important, and it can be a way of making a joke. No harm in that.

It’s a defense mechanism.

If this is a trait that troubles you, you can change it. You don’t have to be that way. I would think people might find it tiring to be with someone who is always throwing out sarcastic comments.

Sarcasm usually has a bite of mean-ness behind it. Sarcastic people like to think of themselves as being clever and funny, but often they’re just tactless and lack the ability/desire/maturity/patience to think things through in a way that will be useful or beneficial or kind.

Humor can be a wonderful thing, it can bring people together and bridge gaps and make people feel at ease and temorarily ward off sadness and despair.

There are many different kinds of humor, but I think sarcasm is kind of the lowest form of humor. I see it as Look At Me! humor rather than, Have you ever thought about fill in the blank—in another way? humor. It’s Jerry Seinfeld vs Don Rickles. It’s Ellen DeGeneris vs Joan Rivers.

If you feel like you are being too sarcastic, first ask yourself why? Do you feel the need to have attention focused on you? Do you feel like you don’t know enough about the world to make better humorous statements that don’t harm people’s feelings? Do you feel nervous and/or impatient so that you just blurt out sarcastic statements? Once you understand why you feel the need to be sarcastic, you can make a conscious decision to change.

I agree with @jca that listening to sarcastic or snarky comments on a regular basis can be very tiring and draining.

What is kind of interesting, here, is that I would not have pegged you as being a sarcastic person. Why do you think that you might be?

I don’t think that I might be. I am. I was even picked “The most sarcastic girl” in high school. And I know who I am now and sarcasm is a part of it.

I don’t feel nervous at all. Actually I can say I never felt nervous in a year.

I never “try” to be sarcastic. I just am.

Maybe because conversations and people can be too regular and boring sometimes.

I’ll try and change it.

@minnie19 Better to be thought of as the funniest person or the most interesting person. Winning an award for sarcasm isn’t exactly a thing to strive for.

You said Actually I can say I never felt nervous in a year Did you feel nervous before that? It’s just an oddly worded statement. So I’m guessing that you are using sarcasm as a way to prevent feelings of nervousness. Strike before you are struck.

If you are still in high school, it’s true that a number of people can be boring, at least to some people. What’s boring to one person is fascinating to another person. Instead of using sarcasm to chastise those people who you find boring, wouldn’t it be better to find friends and acquaintences who’s company that you like better?

I don’t mean this to criticize you, but do you realize that listening to someone constantly make sarcastic remarks is not only boring, it can be demoralizing, and wearisome? Don’t change on my account, change for your own self-interest.

I think it’s a reactionary response to the crazy and somewhat ridiculous world we live in.
