I seem to have a problem, and that's how I act to other people. I am usually dickish and sarcastic to people over the internet, that's just sort of how I've been, people seem to laugh about it and it seems accepted, so I just kept doing it to try to make me, I don't know, more popular? I guess it worked, but I don't like myself now. Everyone knows me for that, and it's not the reputation that I want, but I've become so accustomed to it anyway that I do it subconsciously. I really really want to change, it's gotten to the point that I'm actually offending people, even causing people to not want to talk to me due to it.

I know it's not really how I am. I don't act like that at all around people in real life. In fact, I have social anxiety and have a lot of trouble talking to people in person at all. I can really only strike up conversation with my really close friends if at all.

I guess what the point of this is that I really want to change my demeanor towards people, and stop getting on the bad sides of my friends. I mean, it's not dire or anything, just hoping for some advice.
