There are people with many different types of humor. People have different ways of communicating. Something I see a lot is the use of sarcasm. Sarcasm, while it can be funny and witty, can also be hurtful.
I'm not saying that sarcasm is always a bad thing, or that it should never be used. There's a time and a place for it. The problem with sarcasm, though, is it can be quite hurtful if one is not careful. Sarcasm masks partil truth in with a kind of degrading humor. Sarcasm almost always pointing out the bad in something, and then following up with a often insincere "just kidding." This type of humor can be funny at first, but can get old really fast.
Sarcasm is funny, but should be used sensitively and sometimes sparingly. In the end, it could be easy to leave a bad taste in peoples' mouths concerning you. Sarcasm comes across negative, and people usually only spend time around negative-sounding people for so long.
