It cuts like a knife

I've been doing some self-evaluation lately. Trying to put some pieces of who I am and what I do together. See if maybe my attitude or actions need a little bit of checking up on.

Now I know I'm not perfect, but I do wonder on occasion if there are different aspects of my personality that could use some... tweaking, per se.

You see, I tend to be a bit on the sarcastic side. And... uhm, sometimes, I, uhm... think I poke fun too much.

A lot of people are very sensitive (even guys) and can't handle my biting humor.

I very rarely mean any of what I say. It's usually just me trying to be funny or witty.

I think it started some in HS, but was developed in college, when I had to keep up with my guy friends who were VERY good at the tongue lashing (hehehe, funny and yet gross mental image there). But I knew that no matter how much they ripped into me (okay, that also sounds A LOT worse than it should...eww) they were only teasing and I would rarely take it personally. And because of them, I grew a thicker skin than most.

So today I find myself second-guessing my own personality all for the sake of worrying about what others think. Typically, I consider myself a pretty sensitive person. This includes a sensitivity to others. Especially with the people I care about. But at the same time, I can't help but enjoy a good "dig" every now and again. I wonder if this personality trait (flaw?) keeps people at a distance?

I suppose I could be more demure. Quiet, even. Holding my tongue more often than not.

I just don't know...

Oh well.

Eh.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!
