Maybe not all the time, but most of the time there is a distinct difference. Not everyone has the ability to be sarcastic, and almost everyone has the ability to be a bitch.
1. When sarcastic people are being truthful, they’re not trying to be bitchy.

“Don’t shoot the messenger!” They are just saying it how it is.
2. Being bitchy is intended, while being sarcastic is humorous.

When someone is being a bitch, they are purposely being a bitch. When someone is being sarcastic, they are trying being humorous, not trying to be rude.
