[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sarcasm is an acquired taste and many lovely people don’t acquire it because they prefer kindness and sarcasm is very rarely kind. Those who use sarcasm need to develop the emotional intelligence to read the room and know when it isn’t appropriate to engage that way. Many very intelligent people ‘get’ sarcasm but also find it distasteful. It is probably very important for sarcastic kids to be guided by their parents to use their wit sparingly in this regard because it is certainly likely to close more doors than it opens in academia and the working world alike.[/quote] Very much this. I find that the people who use sarcasm do it as a set point. And often, they and/or their kids don't really understand that sarcasm should used when appropriate. Otherwise, I can just seem mean. I tend to be sarcastic. But I've learned when to use it and when it's inappropriate. But I was never sarcastic as a kid.[/quote]
