Sarcasm - An Overview


How do our friends look at us when they find us being sarcastic? How we should try to act or react when we are making relationships? We have heard our mothers tell us that if we can't talk properly and meaningfully it would be better that we have our mouth shut!

Sean Hannity a popular news commentator made all heads turn towards him by being sarcastic when he commented when Barrack Obama ate a hamburger with Dijon Mustard! These kinds of news commentators try to get spotlight on them, which the news reporters don't usually do. It is obvious that we have a distant association with the President. When we regularly, deliberately and critically try to be mocking, what does it actually mean?

Though experts say that remaining sarcastic is a notion, which has plenty of attributes but the most crucial of them, all is the fact that those people want to feel better about themselves. They are in need of some spotlight and want to be the center of attraction. As it has been stated earlier a person has lot of reasons behind his way of acting sarcastically. Analyzing them would let us get informed about our original behavior and we can ensure whether we would have to carry on in the same manner in the relationship.

For a person who is actually being sarcastic it might be a funny and humorous experience buy on the whole it is not a healthy activity that is not humorous or jovial or enjoyable at certain times. It is a kind of activity that depicts the person's aim to harm others and not to amuse! It is obviously dissimilar when compared to the comedian's act since the comedian changes his target always. It is unintentional and happens randomly rather than intentionally. Even the experts think that it should not be practiced often since it may inflict pain in others.

Sarcasm is all about intimidating others due to the lack of confidence that they have within them! All the basic psychology materials say so. It also means that it would be better to mock others instead of hitting them or hurting them orally!

Say no to sarcasm when you run a business. In business relationships it is better to remain shut rather than talking bad about others. It acts as a barrier to communication and mat even subdue a nice rapport in business. This has to be kept in mind especially during the periods of economic crisis and recessions.

How to identify the thin line between wit and sarcasm and act meticulously? It is often a tedious task and even Forbes says that People become sarcastic since they don't have anything to communicate, so they turn towards mocking and even if they think that they are being funny and jovial they are not amusing in reality. Wit is an intellectual phenomenon, which has something important to carry along in the channel of communication. It is entirely different from sarcasm, which grows when a person has a grumpy feeling towards the other person!

As we remain sarcastic during developing business contacts sarcasm is found to be the elementary form of wit!
