Chasm Via Sarcasm

I’m anti-social. In that I have no verbal skills.

My trouble is misinterpreted modulation and enunciation. While not intentional, I always sound facetious. And it seems to rub people the wrong way.

For example (por ejemplo (for you Spaniards)):

Them: “We just had a baby!”

Me: “Who really gives a fuck?”

See? It might just be the use of the word “really”. I tend to stretch it out to sound like “reeeeeaaalllly” and that seems cynical and off-putting.

I’ll have to really work on that
