Through the years I have always been sarcastic. I must admit, when I was younger sometimes I was pretty damn funny with my sarcastic comments. However, do to my progression over the years, I have become more caring and mature, and I have lost almost all my sarcastic-ness. I no longer make people laugh (not that I was a comedian before, but I did get a random laugh).....I want to be funny, should I work on my sarcastic ways, or find a new way to be funny? (I dont want to memorize jokes or anything)

The bad thing about being sarcastic...is that it wasn't nice....sometimes people got affended. I think I came off as cold and mean sometimes, which I don't like. I'm trying to be a more positive person.

I'm no councillor or Psychologist. I'm just a cynical, sarcastic person. Actually, I'm with you. I'm much less sarcastic then I used to be, and when I do resort to that, I tend to be a bit disappointed with myself. I'm still funny, don't get me wrong, I'm a laugh riot.
Yes, I think it's very possible to be funny without being sarcastic. You can be ironic, satirical, you can state the obvious. You can be happy - often that will make people laugh - of course, those are very sarcastic people.
I don't think everyone has to be the comedian - a joke is much less funny if it doesn't have an audience. I think you should just be who you are and do what makes you feel comfortable. It isn't your job to make everyone laugh all the time. it's your job to be happy and to care about yourself and others.

I'm taking this in, but think you want to be witty. Sarcastic people don't rate very high on my list, unless their wit is what I recognize.
Google says; it's sneering, jesting or mocking a person. They also say it's usually in jest, but can be used in other ways.
My point would be to back off on the sarcasm, it may not be taken the way you intend. Better to work on being slightly witty and know when to pour it on. Also, it never hurt to memorize a joke. Try finding a two or three part joke with the punch line at the end of the second or third part. My experience is: Most think I forgot the punch line, later when I wrap it all together, I turn into the funny witty one!

Good question. Sarcasm can be annoying to listen to and sometimes people laugh to be polite and sometimes you might be funny.
Is being sarcastic making your life better?
Do you have great friends because of it?
Is your company in demand because if it?
Bottom line if it is making a great life for you go with it. However, if it is creating enemies, hard feelings, bad times maybe it would be best to hold back!
Good Luck

Find other means of humor. My husband is extremely funny but not sarcastic. If we offend someone then we Will have to get the karma and someone will have to offend us. What goes around comes around. If not this life then in the next. That is why some kids are harassed incessantly for apparently no reason. It is past karma. (reaction for ones past actions) sarcasm is considered a bad quality according to the Vedas and should be avoided. For info on karma, reincarnation and what are the best qualities to attain. go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada-

My humor runs similarly toward sarcasm...and I hate it. To be truly sarcastic, I always thought, was clever. But as I've gotten older, I've recognized sarcasm in others, and don't like it very much. I think that there is always a higher form of humor - and I would seek to find it, if I were you. Often, when I've made sarcastic comments I wish that I could take them back...

The only thing that's missing in this equation is a layer of confidence, if you aren't sure people should have an interest in you, then why should other, possibly the most hypocritical thing I've ever said by the way as I'm also incredibly insecure, but if you are confident people will be drawn to you, hope everything goes well for you :)

I'm naturally sarcastic. Like even when I don't try to be sarcastic people sense sarcasm. I'm doomed.

I love sarcasm...it's a true sign of friendship when you can be sarcastic to someone and they laugh instead of taking offense...
There is great wisdom in the "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me..."
I practically live by that...
