I'm not a fucking mind reader...
Hiya fuckers. I've been thinking again. That's never good... I know.
Raise your hand if you've ever said that phrase to someone that cared about you.
Raise your hand again if you've said it and it was complete bullshit.
I have exactly 4 reasons why you shouldn't do that.
1. Self care. What good does it do your soul to lie to people who care about you? Zero fucking good, friend. You're automatically assuming your feelings, problems and overall mental health doesn't matter to anyone. Which is the dumbest shit I've ever typed. I don't care who you are, even serial killers all have at least one person who genuinely cared if they were fine or not. That shit is toxic. Don't bottle it up. But don't share it with the cashier at your local gas station either. There's a time and a place for everything.
2. Trust. When you lie to the people that love you about small things like this, how can they trust you to tell them the truth about literally any fucking thing else? It's not just avoidance of sharing your feelings, it's lying.
3. Expectations. When I ask my boyfriend if he is okay, I expect a real answer. He expects the same from me. He doesn't expect me to say "I'm fine.", then be passive aggressive about it for the rest of the goddamn week. Seriously y'all, are we 5 or 28? If you're pissed off, hurt or otherwise not fine, JUST FUCKING SAY IT.
4. Loneliness. We all have demons. We all fight them daily. We all are not fine every moment of every damn day. How lonely it must me to do that solo... letting other people know about your weaknesses and vulnerabilities doesn't make you weak. It strengthens you. It puts badass mother fuckers in your corner, that are ready to throw a punch on the days you can't. Loneliness makes you weak. Please don't do that shit to yourself intentionally. You're not fine.
