He's very sarcastic with me, especially in front of other people, sometimes it can even seem a little harsh. He'll say things like "Yeah, I think I know that already" or "Really?...you did that?". Sometimes it's more lighter, but seems more intense when in front of other friends. Then there's times when he can be very sweet and we giggle together about silly things. He seems to always laugh at things I say or do, even if it's not that funny. I can't tell if he thinks I'm stupid and laughs at me for that reason, or maybe he doesn't like me, or maybe he feels more comfortable around me, or maybe he does have a crush on me...he flirts with other girls for fun but I noticed he's never mean or sarcastic with them like he is with me...Has anyone ever had this issue of sarcasm and constant jokes before and what does it really mean?

I have friends who I banter with or tease more than others; because that is the relationship we have. I've noticed other people who behave one way in-front of certain people; and they change their attitude around others. That's just how some people are; and you're either being over-sensitive or just reading too much into it. If you change around other people, he may notice that you act differently toward him.
If you don't like it, mention it to him.
Pull him aside and tell the guy if you really don't like the sarcasm, and don't find it funny or cute.
Ask him if you make him nervous; because he surely makes you feel uncomfortable in a group of people. If you're not super close, what's the problem? Ignore him. Laugh it off and roll your eyes like he's stupid.
