Okay, so on facebook, everyone is doing the status' that say; "like this and i will say what i like about you" etc. and when i like my friends what they say about me is well... mean. I mean I know that sometimes they are kidding or whatever, but it really bothers me. They all say i'm mean. I'm not mean. I'm sarcastic but it is funny. It's not mean saracasim. And everyone is saying about how i'm mean etc.
Well I don't want to be precieved as mean. SO! How can I be nicer? I really don't think i'm all that mean, but I am willing to change if it makes peoples preceptions about me change.
I don't know what I'm really asking here. I just want peoples opinions on the matter etc.
However, I don't really want to change my self but I don't know.
Just help me!

okay well i completely know how you feel because this happened to me, i'm very sarcastic aswell, but it did all work out, my friends know i'm only joking when i say things and realised that i am actually and exceptionally nice person. basically all you have to do is when you make a joke, pay attention to people's reactions so you are aware of who can handle certain jokes and who can't, for those who can't, just learn a bit of self restraint, you know bit your tongue - not literally - when you think of something funny to say. its all just about knowing people, and their sense of humours.
then again did you ever consider that maybe your friends are joking when thay comment on how 'mean' you are? just something to think about. =] x

It is true that people do become oversensitive towards sarcasm and jokes. If you making a joke about something and making fun it, it is fine. If you are joking about "someone" or making fun of them then saying "im joking", people get offended, embarrassed, or upset about it. Sometimes individuals take jokes and kidding around too far until eventually its not funny anymore. When you know you have gone to far, you will notice that you are the only one laughing. A way to be nicer is compliment your friends, ask about their day, etc. Though if you don't want to change then their reactions are going to be the same as well.
