Even if you haven't seen a single episode of The Big Bang Theory, you most likely know perfectly well what sarcasm is and, most likely, have used it repeatedly. Especially in dealing with people who are not particularly pleasant to you (by the way, that was just sarcasm...)

And it also turns out that there is a so-called "sadcasm" - this is the same sarcasm, only with a subtle, barely perceptible shade of sadness. And apparently there is a whole dedicated Facebook page with over 21M followers, which is called that, and we offer you a selection of the most... well, sadcastic memes from this page today to enjoy.

    Interestingly, the word "sarcasm" in Greek means "tearing the flesh." That is, do not forget that when you release sarcastic remarks at someone, you could say that you are morally biting this person. And how painful words can be - probably every person in the world knows rather well. Of course, it might seem funny to "verbally bite" those around you - until the sarcasm is directed in our direction, doesn't it?

    There's something about someone else's clothes that make them feel better than ours

    In other words, sarcasm is a kind of psychological defense mechanism, especially in the internet era, when text communication is ubiquitous. In any case, sarcasm is a kind of passive aggression, a tool for creating distance, much more effective than irony. “When we put someone else down in a judgmental way, it might make us feel better about ourselves,” says Dr. Jenny Taliz, a clinical psychologist at the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy, in her interview to Refinery29 blog. “If you [say or write] a moderately mean thing, or a clearly mean thing, it wouldn't garner as much attention as if you were sarcastic."

    I remain in a state of silence because I know the second I open my mouth, a torrent of exasperation and hatred is going to pour out and then suddenly I'm the bad guy.

    The authors of a number of psychological studies are way more critical, considering sarcasm a clearly negative phenomenon. So, for example, according to the research conducted by the German psychiatrist Annett Blaser, "it has already been shown in its historical development to be a form of denial with the purpose to minimize the importance of the object. Sarcasm is not a defense but a form of aggressive discharge." That is why sadcasm, as we believe, is a much more pleasant and entertaining thing.

    In any case, it is better not to resort to sarcasm or excessive irony in communicating with people, especially if you do not want to pass for a misanthrope and just an obnoxious person. It's better to just open this selection of ours at any difficult moment, scroll to the very end of it, and maybe write a comment. Okay, you can be sarcastic, we definitely won't be offended by just a comment.

    And then they don't react like you wanted and you're suddenly uncomfortable and disappointed.

    Bro an ex was like this. She'd interrogate me every time I talked to her and say I was lying, then get all upset because of the stuff she made up in her mind.

    Compliments are a fair start. As long as it's something she has had choice and control over. "Hi, I like how you've done your hair" is a million times better than "Hey, nice tits!" Stick to something noticable from a distance (hair, jacket, etc), rather than something that requires being up close and personal to see (don't mention her necklace or earrings unless they're literally jangling and the size of her head). If there is nothing you can comfortably compliment without awkwardness, stick to the neutral - is she reading a book you've read, or would like to read? And if you're still drawing a total blank, pull a page from the British and make a generic statement about the weather. Most important of all: *accept rejection*. She doesn't owe you a conversation (although if you've been neutral and non-creepy, asking if she can pass you a napkin and she scorns or ignores you, says more about her than you). Confidence without arrogance also works wonders. Finally, it takes practice!
