Friends don't understand my sense of humour and I end up in troubles?

My humour is sarcastic and dry, dont like to be all sweet and 'conventional' in showing sympathy. It bores me! I display it by using irony and sarcasm. Later, as I dont tell things in a negative manner, I just forget! However, they don't understand that. Today one of them deleted me off Facebook and it was me who was fiding out what's up. I discovered that 'you p*ss me off'. Cool. If they stated straight away, what aches them at the time of me telling it, then I would surely stop, because I would know what does and what doesn't work with them.

They keep things boiled up, I see. It upsets me a lot, because I end up arguing and confused, that they are mad of something I dont even remember. Do I have to write 'IM JOKING' on my forehead all the time? Why's so hard for people to understand sarcastc humour?
 
I recently got an e-mail from a comment I made that was obviously a joke. I have a friend that is VERY high maintenance and I said "thank God I didn't sleep with you or you would have been really upset when I didn't call you and sent you flowers the next day." The way I look at it, if you can't joke around with your friends. Who can you joke around with?

I got a terrible e-mail how she cannot be friends with me anymore because I don't respect her and she continued to tell me what a terrible person I was and how I wasn't as nice as I appear to be....and I was like "seriously" It was a JOKE!!!!!!!! WOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! I was going to apologize because I must first understand what upsets someone and I am not psychic. BUt her e-mail was so nasty that it was worse than my joke. I didn't "mean" the joke. But she SURELY meant what she was saying....

I realize, I CANNOT be friends with people w.out a sense of humor. People take things WAY too seriously sometimes. We cannot control OTHER people's reactions to an innocent joke that we don't remember the next day. IF you have a chance to apologize, by all means say "my intention wasn't to offend you but I'm sorry I did." Leave it at that....but if someone takes you off from Facebook or sends you a NASTY e-mail, send them packing.....Do you really want to walk on egg shells not knowing what offends someone or not? People need to lighten up and have a SENSE of HUMOR:)
 
Don't use the cop-out that this is just your sense of humor, or others don't have a sense of humor who don't "get" your jokes. Being dry and sarcastic can easily turn into cruel and mean. You should edit yourself because if enough people are isolating themselves from you, then perhaps you are not right and could curtail what you say. Just because you think you are charming, witty, fast-thinking, does not mean what you say is acceptable. Why is it the world's obligation to understand your humor? That's what I don't get. Cool it.
