You should definitely only say ‘yes’ when someone asks if you're having a good day right? ?

[wittymilf]

I’m having a really bad day and chick said hi how’s your day going and I said really Fucken bad 😂😂. It all got awkward after that.

[Finchie40]

Sometimes we just have to vent our frustrations especially with the way things are today , Seems finding happiness is harder to come by these days cuz how messed up things have become , so by you saying it’s been fucked up you are being honest , but you have to remember no one else can change that for you , you have to try to change that yourself , everytime I go out in public or jump on the internet all I see and hear is negative things to the point like what is really the point of life? if we have to fake being happy , I always been a happy outgoing big hearted kind of guy and lately that’s been a struggle for me to do to the point I don’t know which direction to turn , so it’s been harder for me to really smile lately cuz of all the negativity that is right in front of our faces , the only happiness I find within myself is being content , and staying away from the outside world as much as possible , This pandemic fucked this world up to the point so many people are miserable and negative , I don’t see how anything is going to get better honestly , so it’s been harder for me to thrive , going to work has become stressful as well cuz of all the negativity , just seems so many people are miserable and selfish , trying to find love today for me has been a nightmare as well , so many selfish girls that tell me that want a relationship and a good man etc and then they turn around and backstab me so my trust in girls has vanished to find a girl that values relationships has been so hard to come by , no one trusts anyone lately it’s all smoke and mirrors , everyone cheats and uses each other these days it’s sickening to experience and watch , I don’t know I am just venting as well but I honestly don’t see things getting any better

I don't benefit from dumping my problems on someone else. It's not something that I often feel the need to do.

If someone asks how my day is going, I usually say "Great. How are you doing?" with a smile.
If something is bugging me, I'll say "It's going alright. How 'bout you?" in a tone that's less than bubbly.
Or I might say "Just another day in paradise. How are you doing?" as if to imply that they know how I feel.

Few people actually want to hear your problems.

If I knew the person and they were genuinely interested, I might tell them about what was bugging me.

The thing is, a polite greeting is always something like "Hi. How are you going?" or "Hey, what's up?" The question is added by rote. It's just what people say. So, a well thought out reply isn't necessary. You just give a standard reply and move on.

Unhappy people make others uncomfortable.

[AmandaYVR]

I think it's ok to be sort of honest, but then immediately after say something so that they know they don't have to respond, or take it too seriously.

Sometimes an answer like that is more interesting, and it's certainly more authentic, than an, "I'm fine, how are you?" That one goes nowhere, really.

Can you vent, but then make a quick joke right after?

Is she a stranger to you? The less you know them, the more pretending is customary.

[PizzaPieMamaBear]

Nah depends on who if it’s a genuine friend tell him the truth a kinda stranger or smile big for em and say hanging I. There sweety thank you for asking. How are you! Unless you’re having a good day then smile big and say I’m doing good thanks for asking sweety and you?

[TheVigilantFox]

When people asked me how I was I’d say the truth that I was doing shitty but then they’d ask why I was doing shitty and I had no way of answering as I didn’t even know why I felt that way, now when people ask me I just say the usual old lie “I’m fine” and they just carry on about whatever, I find it easier to just say I’m fine as to be honest no one cares how I’m feeling so why bother wasting time telling them?

[OlderAndWiser]

I sometimes say, "Do you want the polite answer or the truth?"

[wittymilf]

I should have gone with this one!

[BarryLiverstone]

So I used to lie and say it was good or ok because I felt it was polite. Now when someone asks I just say how I felt honestly. You are right.. it’s like they didn’t expect the truth

[wittymilf]

I mean it feels bad making my problems there problems right

[BarryLiverstone]

I also felt guilt at first when I started saying how I felt if it was bad. But then I learned that I can’t make them feel badly. It’s their choice how they react to my emotions.

[wittymilf]

Ok true good point

[wittymilf]

I mean my bad day is fascinatingly bad if you’re a stranger I think 🤔🤣😂

[AimeeKyle]

Usually say “yes” or “not too bad” or “I can’t complain”. People who aren’t your good friends or confidant don’t care and aren’t invested enough to care/want to hear it. And if you say something negative it will likely be awkward every time….

You could get lucky sometimes if you run across an overly empathetic, compassionate person or minister…. but not the norm.

[NathanDavis]

"I've had better days..."

[Ms_Facesitter]

I'm honest. I hate the question when my day isn't going well :p cause you know what they'll follow up with when you say "no"

[exitseven]

I just say it is okay. Nobody wants to hear my problems.

[AviatorTom]

I try to be honest, without being overly negative. If I'm having a bad day, and someone asks how's my day, I might say something like "I've had better days."

[dolemite89]

i remember someone saying in their country that it was rude to ask strangers how they were doing and that you just said hello to people and that’s it. i want to live there 😂

[20yearsolder]

Nah, I tell the truth. How's your day, not worth a fuck

[Guardian45]

LOL! That's me almost everyday! It's a dilemma!😂🤣🤪👍

[MLGbreezy]

If I’m being honest I don’t even know if most men can say anything other then yes unless you’re wit like close guy friends.

[KrakenAttackin]

Being asked "how is your day" is a pleasantry not a real question. No one wants to hear someone bitch and moan.

[nawtee_me]

I believe you should be honest. It is the only way someone will know and maybe able to help...

[Andres77]

Well I hope it’s getting better

[In_Trance]

Yea, nobody wants any other answer.

[slatyb]

Depends on your relationship.

[DJB72]

Depends on who is asking

[CuriousMufuxka]

I say speak your mind when asked.

[Jerre]

I hope you have a better day tomorrow

[CubaPirate]

No tell em the truth
