#actuallynot

I get it, it’s a form of manners, and I know some people really do care. But I believe many are not prepared to hear the negative side of the answer to the questions.

I get these questions sometimes and when I’m actually not okay, I hesitate whether to say the truth. Because I do not think that the person expected a “no”, or even if they do, I feel like they may not be willing/prepared to hear all my negative thoughts and emotions and why I’m not feeling okay. You get what I mean?

So what I always do, is to give a “I’m fine” in a very brushed off manner, hoping for them to see the truth in my eyes. If they do ask about it, I would say. Sadly, no one ever notices. Or maybe they just chose to keep quiet.
