Do you want to know a secret?

My most favorite and least favorite things about myself are the same thing.

I love that I have a sarcastic sense of humor. The constant banter between my family and friends is awesome. I've always appreciated the dry, quick-witted sense of humor that is sarcasm. Some of my favorite shows and movies are proof of that: Psych, That '70s Show, Two Weeks Notice, Baby Mama, etc.

Unfortunately, not everyone shares my sense of humor. And it's far too hurtful to those who don't. It's not their fault. I just know that I've hurt too many people by comments I said. Unintentionally. It makes people angry, upset, and the whole situation gets awkward.

Now, I know there is a time and a place for this kind of stuff, and I'm usually very careful.

Sometimes it happens, though.

Sometimes I take things too far.

Sometimes I'm cynical.

Sometimes I'm bitter.

Sometimes I just don't know what else to do.

Really, I think it's a defense mechanism.

When I want to hide my true feelings, whether they be good or bad, I have a snide remark.

Some people keep it going which only adds to my feelings.

As you can see, this is a vicious cycle.

I'm working very hard to keep it under control, knowing who to use it around and when it's appropriate.

But I'm still a work in progress!

So to anyone I've hurt or angered with my opinions, sarcasm, or general "lack there of" sense of humor, I am truly sorry.
