Sarcasm has a negative vibration. In college Psychology 101, they said that sarcasm was a disguised aggression. So where does sarcasm fit on the Emotional Guidance Scale and how does it affect the manifestations of the sarcastic person? How does it affect one's overall vibration? Emotional Guidance scale 1.Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation 2.Passion 3.Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness 4.Positive Expectation/Belief 5.Optimism 6.Hopefulness 7.Contentment 8.Boredom 9.Pessimism 10.Frustration/Irritation/Impatience 11.“Overwhelment” 12.Disappointment 13.Doubt 14.Worry 15.Blame 16.Discouragement 17.Anger 18.Revenge 19.Hatred/Rage 20.Jealousy 21.Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness 22.Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness asked 13 Sep '12, 09:15 Fairy Princess ursixx

I'd say sarcasm is a behavior resulting from an emotion, not an emotion itself, and so sarcasm itself has no place on the emotional guidance scale. The underlying emotion feels like Frustration/Irritation/Impatience (#10) to me. One can almost sense an accompanying sigh of irritation when someone is being genuinely sarcastic, instead of just being jokingly sarcastic for comedy purposes. answered 14 Sep '12, 14:39 Stingray |

@Fairy Princess - What is Psych 101? I agree sarcasm feels like disguised aggression - not sure where it fits on the scale. I always have trouble with the finer points of that scale - never too where I am on it!
@Catherine - Psych 101 is the most basic class in Psychology studies.
@Fairy Princess- Here is a copy of the EGS for your reference, if you don't already have it. :)

@Fairy Princess- I'm really not sure on this one . Sarcasm could stem from a lot of things like fear, anger or jealousy. A generally sarcastic person is usually emphasising the negative aspects of something or someone. They are really seeing those negative aspects in themselves though as everything we perceive to be wrong outside of us are actually are own unresolved issues...
@Fairy Princess- Then you have comedians who might write sarcasm into their stand-up shows for a good punch-line, solely to entertain. This could be considered positive:)
Good points @Satori
This is a good point, I once saw both from Dom Delouse and Loui Anderson that all the jokes we laugh about that they make really came from a whole lot of hurt and paint for them. Probably a lot of comedians then, lot John Belushi, John Candy and more really did come from a lot of hurt.
I know when I was in school, I was always making people laugh while feeling bad within myself about myself.
