good luck. [ princesslindsey's advice column | Ask princesslindsey A Question ]

its really annoying,people think I'm like a complete idoit and Im not.
Its really hard to change your attitude from Sarcastic to not sarcastic, considering they are exact oppostites.
Just let the people around you know your more serious.
Like when a serious matter comes along, take it seriously with no sarcasm [even though its hard to do if your used to it ]
Also, you should stay with your true friends , if people leave you just because of your sarcasm level,thats not right.
It may be annoying to some people but its funny and its not worth loosing a friendship.
I mean come on, you could be killing people and instead your just using some sarcastic humor.
Good luck,hopefully people will start to take us seriously haha
