I'd say I'm a 9. And on bad days I'm definitely a 10...I even get on my own nerves sometimes...

Unfortunately, it's the only coping mechanism I have to deal with the constant influx of stupidity I have to endure at home and elsewhere...at home especially, I keep hoping that if I'm snarky enough, they'll just stop trying to get me involved in their pointless self-made problems, but at best they can't take the hint, and at worst they get offended that I'm not genuinely concerned about this thing that they're bringing up for the 50th time yet can't be bothered to do anything about. How do you react to that??

And it's actually worse online, for the opposite reason...of course, since it's the internet, stupid abounds, and in places where I could actually be recognized I have to be really careful about censoring myself...the sarcastic demon-beast can only be let out when someone is clearly being a jerk and asking for it.
If they're just being stupid...even if they're being really, really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY stupid, as long as they have good intentions, it's my personal policy to try to be nice, and if I can't, remove them from my feed and pretend they never said anything (it's usually the latter...years of sarcastic bitchery are not easily undone 6_6).

Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to take the filter off and just say whatever I want...I do have a reputation to uphold though, and I generally believe being nice is the right thing to do...besides, even internet-Doki is still an introvert, and if I decided to go off on some rando it's not like I'd have a long list of social interactions and friends to prove that I'm not actually a total jerk. 9_9; So I really have no choice but to keep putting my best foot forward...forever...and ever...

I'm about a 5, due to my condition i can have trouble recognizing sarcasm in others unfortunately.
That doesn't stop me from having a sarcastic side myself

For longest time am thinking me am only intolerant of willful ignorance and lazy thinking. You know, people who am perfectly-capable of connecting dots, but fail to connect dots for no good reason.

Then am meeting people with actual conditions. It not their fault, they am simply like that. And it am getting on mine nerves also.

So sarcastic, people can't tell when I'm being serious or joking about something awful irl

Jokes like the insanely casual "kill me" and "nah, i'd rather be alone and stay at home being sad" are met with "dude, are you okay?" and as a joke to lighten the mood, I'll say "no" like the absolute buffoon I am bc my sense of humor, transparency, and sarcasm are too damn intertwined at this point in my life

sarcastic enough that writing characters becomes a pain in the ass if that makes sense

[AbelDraws]

Not at all. some sarcasm is ok, but it sounds so harsh sometimes (and sometimes it IS meant to be harsh)... I don't really like it that much ahdkgh. I only use it when it's VERY obvious I'm joking.

Some of my characters are sarcastic as frick and I love them, I love some good sass in media, but not so much irl (I'm way too soft for my own good in that aspect tbh, if I offended someone without meaning to with a sarcastic joke I'd explode ahdjkgkh so nope, I'm not made for that).

I think i would be a five, but most of my sarcasm is used in a humorous way and to joke around. (save for the very, veeeeeeeery ocasional roasting)

[TAMAnnoying]

Everything I say cause I’m actually dead on the Inside- can’t actually do those feeling things.

[IndigoShirtProd]

Is it because you're so sarcastic that your first instinct is to have a character make a sarcastic remark regardless of the time and place or characterization because it's something you would do. . . Because that's why it's hard for me.

I'm an 8.5; sarcastic to a fault. It's too much fun to change how I talk now. I usually mean it as joke, but it's easy to sidestep taking responsibility for something you've said if everyone thinks you don't mean it.

[sc101]

yeah basically. also if i am trying to write a not self aware character ( cuz they all can't be self aware), it's an ongoing sarcastic commentary in your head lol

[rmdooley]

My natural inflection ranges from sarcastic to deadpan.

[Lummy]

Stopped being sarcastic after I found that some people get offended by it, so now I forgot how to be sarcastic XD
So now 0, and some years ago 8

[Bishmuth]

That's literally the same as me xD

Problem is, because I can't always identify sarcasm, people think that I'm a lot more serious than I am, so they often think I'm being serious rather than sarcastic.

[spadedigsbutts]

But what if I’m so sarcastic I put a 1 instead of a 10

[nathanKmcwilliams]

7 I love using sarcasm for jokes. And I'm really good at being deadpan while I do it. Most of the time I end up having to explain myself to my coworkers xD

[burginlewis]

It depends on who I'm with.

I have wished many times for a sarcasm font, though.

[therealbereth]

I'm like you; I'm like a 3 tops, because in my own little family, I do throw around some sarcastic comments, but only because I know my partner gets it. Other than that, I'm really not a fan of it because I can never judge whether or not the person before me is mocking me—and there's little I hate more than being mocked.

Full disclosure, I didn't even understand sarcasm until I was well into my teens lol; it just always flew right over my head. Guess whatever spectrum I'm on had a hand in that. xD But this is why I can't use it in RL much with others because I don't ever want to make others feel the way I did.

Ironically, I love sarcasm in fiction. Especially in my own characters. It's fun, but only because I know exactly what they mean. :'D

[Rhonder]

On the lower end, I logged 3 for the poll. I usually only use sarcasm when someone says something really dumb/obvious, or to give someone shit xD which isn't too often, thankfully.

[Swamp]

I'm pretty low, but my fatal flaw is that if I'm asked to do a simple task, but it's phrased as a question, ("Could you pass the salt") I say "No" in a flat voice, then do the task.

The problem is around strangers, especially ones who don't know me and when the task takes a second, it makes me sound like a total asshole.
