No, but they do this to my husband all the time because he's so sarcastic so much of the time!

Of course, who hasn't experienced this? The only thing you can do is to emphasize that you're serious.

It's usually the other way around.

It's 'are', isn't it? I might be wrong.

Anyway, yes, because I'm usually being sarcastic.

Yes, but only very rarely.

I think it happens more often that they think I'm sincere when I'm being sarcastic.

Yes, and vice versa as well.

I guess it's the snarl that makes the difference.

I think so. I think many people think some of the things I say are just too extreme to be serious. But I come to my positions from simple logic starting from what I think are solid premises. I usually (though not always) mean what I say quite literally.

It's the other way around. I wish there was a sister survey.

People assume I'm sincere when I'm being sarcastic.

Yes, because most of the time I am sarcastic. People don't usually expect me to be serious.

Yes, but usually when they are feeling insecure.

Yes, I think so. I have been asked if I was being sarcastic when I wasn't, so I guess that would be a yes.
