I'll be the first to admit that even I struggle with this at times, but the first step to overcoming a problem is to admit you have one.
As far as what he said about sarcasm, I don't agree with that completely. Yes, its easier to take something out of context, or take it the wrong way, if its in a written format and the other person doesn't know you very well. However, as the old saying goes, "Its not what you say, its how you say it.", so if carefully word what you're typing to make it be read as humorous, the person on the receiving end will generally take it as such. For another thing, using emojis, particularly this emoji, helps convey the context you're using (which is why we have them). Third, if you're known for having a sarcastic sense of humor (as I do), you can get the impression the other person is being sarcastic to you.
