Hear To Learn: Could it just be that you are not wired to detect sarcasm as such? I know a couple of folks like that and they take everything I say at face value -- which with me is NOT a good idea!


Ha! It's funny you say that, and here's what happened...

First, I'm actually very good at detecting sarcasm...when it's spoken! Typed...probably not so much!

Further proof, was in responding to your thread, I was going to make a sarcastic comment, but kept editing BECAUSE I didn't want it to be taken the wrong way. "Wait...what if he thinks I'm serious." So...I'm guessing I probably take things at face value too much on here.

Thanks for noticing that! VERY helpful!

Personally I think your original premise and title is not flying too well in this thread. Maybe just setting it aside and not feel the need to defend every word and refute every misunderstanding may be the best course of action here.


Probably a good idea! Ok, it's a great idea! I think i struggle with it here simply because I feel very misunderstood...just here though. In face to face communication, I don't run into these situations!

Again, that's on me!

Thanks! smile
