Some people love sarcasm. If you are one of them then so be it. As long as you are happy and at the same time not hurting others. Well, that's the hardest part of being sarcastic right. Personally I used to be one and I realized as my values begin to change, I changed as well. Sarcasm at times can be hurtful.
If you are not happy about it and want to change it then try this. Replace sarcasm with compliments. The first time I tried this it was like a shock to the person that I was talking to. Like it's coming from me and it's not normal but eventually it became a habit.
Sarcasm is basically the sign of a intelligent and rebellious mind questioning boldly on the norms and behavior of people. Let's put it this way. It's basically artful nagging and whining about the situation or people.
Compliments are beautiful. Instead of complaining, you are forcing your mind to find a good thing in that. If sarcasm is a sign of an intelligent mind then I would say giving compliments is greater than that. You need creativity to compliment things that doesn't make sense! I know it sounds silly but use compliment to address what's right and criticize what's wrong next.
You have to do the right thing which is telling the truth but there's a better way of doing it. Start with what's right and then the bad stuff. When I'm asking you to compliment I am asking you to speak the truth that cannot be seen followed by what's wrong and how to fix it.
Next time when you feel like you want to be sarcastic in a group chat or in a party, remember to compliment first and then speak the other truth.
Compliment baby.
