It indicates pessimism. The person generally has a negative, scorned, spiteful personality.
Sarcasm is also regularly confused with cynicism, which in common use is seen as a fundamental nihilistic attitude toward other people and life in general, whereas sarcasm can also be used to express positive ideas or sentiments.

Sarcasm is brittle humor turning sour. I think sarcasm betrays a person's own insecurities and doubts; furthermore, it alienates the person from having real connections with others. It's a form of emotionally boxing out other people.

It's a fast guarding mechanism, so it instantly gives you a level of their defensiveness. If they use sarcasm in writing (email, IM, texting, or letters), it tells you they aren't very bright because there's no tone of voice in written communication. Also, if they use nothing but sarcasm, it shows you the level of their sense of humor, and their personal level of bitterness.

A sens of humor that is different fomr other people. I use sarcasm to make a point at times and in humor. It does not mean anything. I am loved by many and I am a life coach. So.....it can help people at times.

Sarcasm usually signifies that the person is incapable of handling a direct arguement or he is unable to fight straight.Using sarcasm sometimes can weaken the victim.It is a strong weapon against weak minded and it is useless if one is strong minded.

Sarcasm is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is often used in a humorous or ironic manner and is expressed through vocal intonations such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words.

Personally, sarcasm can mean a couple of things depending on how it is dealt out.
If it is sarcastic in a funny way, that person may have a sense of humor.
If it is said in a mean way, than that person is probably insecure and unhappy.
IMHO!

That they are more fun to hang around with than most people. Also It shows that they are a little smarter than most because it takes a special openess to emotional and language iflections to understand and 'get' most sarcasm.

It depends. The motive behind the behavior will tell you what you want to know. Does the person want to put someone else down, or are they just trying to get a few laughs?
