NEW: Talk Back To Me: How shall I take sarcasm directed at me?

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/sarcasmHouse-300x240.jpg
The holidays quickly approaching, this is a very timely topic to deal with: the sarcasm, or sarcastic remarks of the people you meet: instead of holiday cheer, love etc. you need to deal with poison coming through sarcasm. How do you do it? This article will help to look at it differently and save yourself from grief.

Hey Sophie,

I hope you are well.

I"m wondering if you could help me to clarify something?

I"m trying to understand sarcasm.

The Irish people are generally quite sarcastic, it"s called "slagging" here. I think, in general, one is supposed to be able to laugh at himself or answer back in similar manner.

But most of times I don"t really know how to react to it, it"s hurtful sometimes.. and I guess I don"t really know if I"m overreacting? Should I just observe the origin of MY hurt or try to see why perhaps the other person is veiling mockery, i.e. observe THEIR hurt?
