Constant jokes/sarcasm

Simply put, I make a joke or sarcastic remark about everything said to me / around me. It's not unfunny or anything, that's not the problem, and it has gotten me plenty of friends - but it's hampered my ability to have a real relationship. I just see comedy in every aspect of life and can quickly make a joke out of something, and if I try to control it, I say nothing. Is it normal?

    I am the same way. I get SO SICK of my sarcasm because sometimes it's just plain rude, but it's like I can't turn it off.

    I hate sarcasm, it's so low, and usually much too obvious. What happened to subtlety? The joke part is fine. Just the sarcasm part, that
    makes me want to kick your ass right here.

    im like that and it gets me in a lot of shit tbh. ive learnt to never be sarcastic with your family or teachers cos they hate it when your funnier and just damn smarter than them :s also, a relationship that will be able to fit your personality will come along so dont supress your personality, as this world already has enough boring halfwits without you adding to their number.

    Ya Dude Bag! (I call my best friend that too.)

    You probably have OCD or something. Maybe you're one of those people with a brilliant mind but it's just restless and it's constantly making humorous observations about life (you'd really like Demetri Martin). You seem like in intelligent guy. Find out what triggers this. Talk to a counselor and if needs be, take medication. Find a way to occupy your busy mind, a way to distract it.

    I'm the same way. I have a really hard time taking anything seriously. Some of my friends do get really irritated because they say that "everything is a joke to me." I can't help it. I'm always sarcastic about everything. Gets me in trouble, too ]:

    I'm the same dude. I do it so much it gives me a fucking headache sometimes and then I really need to chill (like a previous poster said). Don't stop it though. Cynics and sarcastic people are fucking funny. Just take some time out and relax by yourself sometimes. That's what I do. Otherwise I do my own freekin' head in.

    I know exactly how you feel because I am the same way. As for if it's normal I don't know. Just try to relate stuff to yourself when you talk to people or ask questions.

    I'm the same exact way.

    It drives my teacher crazy.

    Lately I've been working on just chatting, and saying things sarcasticlly only some of the time, because when I'm texting/e-mailing no one knows if I'm serious or not.

    people do that sometimes when they're nervous or want to hide who they really are/ how they feel. find people you're comfortable with and you should be able to relax more.
    then again, maybe you're justa bit of a smartarse, if so don't worry, lots of people think it's cool :)

    thats one of those thins that could work for you or work against you.
    (it just depends on the situation)

    im the same way.

    just be aware that in some situations people might take your jokes as you being a smart ass.

    You sound like Chandler from the show "Friends," but without the personality.

    Try having actual conversations. People may think you're funny but you're not going to be taken seriously if you're just Funny Man. The Funny Man in a group is the one who cracks all the jokes and is fun to be around but without any substance. Perhaps you're a loner and don't want relationships and this is your defense mechanism or maybe you do want relationships or afraid to have one, either way, you're fine being Funny Man, but one day you're going to realize nobody really knows you and nobody really cares. You don't have to give up your humor. Just lace your humor in your conversation and you'll be thoughtful but also lighthearted.
