    Sometimes I pretend to take sarcasm or joke statements seriously because I don’t know how to react to it otherwise.

      Me too. Also I’ll often do the opposite where I make a joke but with no tone change to indicate it as such. People will either get mad at me for being wrong or else they will praise my brilliant deadpan humour.
