... well they really shouldn't! 1. I am cynical a lot of the time 2. When I'm joking I don't always mention it 3. I sometimes feel like being another person just for fun - but I don't always laugh. Understood? Okay, you see a lot of people would think I'm kinda dry and mean if they didn't know me, if I would have ended that post after "understood?" - but if you know me, you know I'm just a really sweet girl, who can be serious but NOT ALWAYS! And I just don't like being misunderstood... Well that was kinda pointless but I feel better now that it's out
I think I understand... Sometimes I make an overly harsh statement meant to be a joke and people don't get it.
Yep, I was called "cruel", "heartless", "selfish", "negative", and such a lot. When I actually was being cynical, or joking... I don't know... maybe the problem comes from me?
Same thing for me, but I try to make my statements outlandish enough that I feel anyone with common sense would see that it couldn't be serious. If someone believes a statement like "the article was terrible and the author should be executed," then I'm not going to bother telling them it was a joke I enjoy a cynical/black sense of humor. You always come across as nice on here, to me at least
im from the north through purto rico and my humor is not appreciated in the south .....anyway im not a pretty girl ....... penny , you could jump up n down on my esophagus n id be thrilled ....just like the irish cherokee godess .......id crawl cross a room full of broken glass just to kiss her ass
lol okay, well thanks everyone. I'm glad no one here - at least no one who replied! - thinks I'm a weirdo, that I'm strange, that I'm bizarre, because I'm somtimes cruel or say stupid things and no one understand why...
This is a problem I have a lot. No one can ever tell if I am joking or not. Even my own wife has a hard time telling if I am kidding around or not. I think that even if I am being serious in my statement towards some one or some thing, people shouldn't take it so personally.
I an sarcastic all the time. In fact I was sarcastic about the last sentence I typed. And the sentence after that. And the sentence after that. And the sentence after that. And the sentence.after...
And you know what? People who don't have a sense of humor. It's their fault!! And people who are hung-up. Or very narrow-minded. Or hicks. I wish everyone would interpret everything I say the right way. I would avoid a lot of arguments like that...
Problem with the interenet is there is no tonal expression, i tend to use the smilies as a substitute...
Right, but even "in the real world", with actual "real people" with I really talk using the muscles of my mouth, I often get misunderstood. Because I talk in a serious way when I'm not serious. What do you call that? I forgot... I laugh sometimes, and use "appropriate" (but what is appropriate anyways?) tones and all, but not always, and not even most of time! I have a serious problem.
