Legend<br />
Says<br />
By Andrea Mejia<br />
According to the legend (I’m making this up), people with<br />
sarcastic humor aren’t well liked at first, or actually they are<br />
never liked, to be honest. Well, I get it... Sarcasm is not for<br />
everyone!<br />
It seems that those who have a simpler sense of humor,<br />
usually relate better to most people, or are not disliked<br />
as easily as the sarcastic ones. Yes, I’m referring to those<br />
who chuckle at everything, but do not really understand<br />
anything.<br />
To keep this story short, it just seems to me that, those of<br />
us who are more honest, direct and unfiltered when saying<br />
things, have the common trait of sarcastic humor which<br />
identifies us.<br />
And what can we do? Life has rewarded us not only with<br />
being smart and witty, but we also received the grace of<br />
having an excellent sense of humor.<br />
Analyze the situation and you will see that people who are<br />
not very good at honesty and sincerity, have a lesser sense<br />
of humor, and take everything personal. Could it be an<br />
inferiority issue?<br />
You shouldn’t feel about not being liked, or being blunt.<br />
This is just part of the many personalities that exist. For<br />
those with sarcastic humor, it’s important learning to be<br />
tactful, which is something that many with this trait are<br />
not very good at. It is also important to keep in mind that<br />
some people tend to be much more sensitive and do not<br />
understand this type of humor. It is necessary sometimes<br />
to be discreet so that we don’t go around hurting people<br />
around us. Don’t you agree?
