Keep being you. Sarcastic wit is great unless it's constantly directed at you. The trick is to be sarcastic without cutting the other person down. There was a letter in a local national newspaper advice columnist about someone who grew up in a family that enjoyed sarcasm and putting other people down as humorous. The writer said that she noticed she wasn't as open to her family anymore because of it and her friends said the same thing. Being the butt of someone's joke, sarcastic are not is not fun. People who grow up in that environment quickly learn to use sarcasm as a wall to protect themselves from the put downs and 'jokes' that are hurtful.
