It's my coping mechanism, and I'm having a hard time dealing with things without it!!!!

So sorry. I would have answered your question earlier, but I've been delivering lashes to my naked body with a ragged stick, chanting "deliver him from dullness, deliver him from mediocrity" in hopes of saving you. Please let me know if my suffering has been in vain.

I would pray for guidance in becoming the best person I could possibly be. Sarcasm is generally a turn-off. Why not get in touch with what's really at the root of needing to be sarcastic to deal with things? You'll emerge a more confident, secure, likable person!

Maybe all that praying is causing you to lose the anger and sarcasm! Why don't you use prayer to help you cope? That or a find a therapist to help you with your problems.

How about trying to cope differently? Sarcasm and anger are negative and destructive. Maybe you are *gasp* maturing! This is a good thing. Go with it and see how much better the world will seem.

WOW! I don't even know you and I am so proud of you for
1) realizing that that was a problem and stopping it
2) realizing that it is a coping mechanism, very self-aware
You know, every habit that we get rid of has to be replaced with another positive trait. Can you come up with another coping mechanism to replace the sarcasm? (deep breath, quick prayer for help?)

Sarcasm is my middle name. I guess you can pray to get it back, but I can tell you, it puts a lot of people off. I understand it being a defense mechanism, that's how I use it. I've kept people away like I'm getting paid to do it. Maybe say a prayer to get half of the sarcasm back.

Come on... are you being sarcastic right now? I'm kidding... It sounds to me like you're growing and maturing and that sounds awesome. It's not all that pleasant to be around someone who had a chip on their shoulder and is consistently sarcastic. It's rather annoying actually. Find another way to deal with things. How about a sport like Jiu-Jitsu to get pent up aggresions out. You're finding a more productive way to deal with things, you get your body looking hot, in turn raises your confidence, in turn makes the girls swoon and before you know it you're the shiz of the shiznits. :-) Good luck!

Maybe you could cope in more productive ways? Sarcasm doesn't help anybody. Would you want someone doing that to you? Probably not, is my guess.
You can pray for anything you sincerely feel you need. God knows your heart and He will provide what's best. I honestly hope all goes well for you.

it's like they say in star wars....... ^ ^;; nnnnnyway.
whatever you really want. what do you need to cope with, anyway? sarcasm is fun. anger... that's an issue. irony and sarcasm is a way to look at the situation from a distance, but i think it's just a skill. it takes practice.

No, because sarcasm is snotty a lot of times, and if you want to be agood witness, just remember, everyone isnt as smart as you, they dont see things the way you do havent been brought up like you dont think like you etc.
Love kindness PATIENCE, LONGSUFFERING are fruits of the SPIRIT, pray for THAT instead.

you can't force the sarcastic remarks.. otherwise they don't sound witty like they are meant to be...
nothing wrong wiht losing the anger tho
but some poeple need sarcasm to be funny and enhance personality
go online and read lots of sarcastic remarks.. maybe it'll comneback to you
and don't be afraid to be BOLD
if you aren't living life on edge... you are taking up too much space
come on life is short make it interestig even if your remarks are off the wall!
