There's nothing wrong with a little dry humor and sarcasm every now and then, but there's a fine line between "just being sarcastic" and being a little bit of a sarcastic a**hole. But some people, take Dean Winchester from Supernatural, have that persona down-pat and have come to accept that about themselves.
Are you a sarcastic a**hole? Not sure?
Let's run through a few indicators that could suggest you might be one...and of course, who better to help you figure that out than the connoisseur himself...Dean Winchester.
1. You can only take so much stupidity from people.
You know, the whole "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all?" Well, that kind of applies here.
2. No one knows when you're being serious anymore.
And when you are being serious, people are still asking you to get serious.
3. You've lost control of what your face does when having to deal with people
"Don't roll your eyes at me." "...Did I?"
4. But because of that (among other things), some people honestly think you hate them, but you really don't.
Wait, what now?
5. So you end up having to try way too hard to convince them that no wait, you do really like them, honest!
And you can feel your eye twitch and your lip crack a little because wow, you really aren't used to smiling this much, especially around people.
6. But because your face isn't used to emoting so much, it all comes out really weird and you end up kind of freaking the person out even more.
...Welp.
7. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who combats your sarcasm with THEIR OWN sarcasm.
Did you-...was that-...
8. And then you enter a semi-existential crisis.
"Oh my God...maybe...I'm not a sarcastic a**hole? Maybe I'm normal?"
9. Only to realize later, when you've once again offended or confused someone that same day, that you're exactly what you thought you were.
Nope, still the same. All good.
10. So you simply accept how you are and deal with the consequences later.
Don't get me wrong here. In many circumstances, it is very much not appropriate to be so so sarcastic. But in accepting and acknowledging the fact that you are or may be a sarcastic a**hole...it becomes easier to control when and where you use it. Take it from Dean and take it from me, being sarcastic is great, but save it for the people who deserve it - or at least for the ones who'll know you're just being sarcastic.
...Or don't, you know, it's all up to you.
