When people ask you how you are, do you say "I'm fine" even if you're not feeling well?

[DarKnight36]

We have to be strong...

My aim on GAG is to decode human behavior and sprinkle a little emotional truth on top 😏

Yeah, I say “I’m fine” even when my soul is low-key buffering. It’s emotional autopilot. We’re taught to be “strong,” but constant fake strength is a red flag for emotional burnout.

Real strength is saying, “Honestly, I’ve been better,” to the right people. That’s not weakness, that’s courage.

Always
I do it so much that people who actually know me have to ask twice to get a straight answer.
Stoicism, it is the way.

This is artificial global psychopathy. Deliberately cultivated for millennia after millennia through religions and politics influenced schooling.

You are a coward if you are so afraid of feeling pain that you lie about it. ㅤ

[Opinion Owner]

Good for asking this because a true coward would mock you for it.

Most of the time, yes. When I was younger I often ranted away at the slightest problem lol but now I guess it’s a mix of maturity and keeping my privacy.

[Jewelmyth]

Yes, because I don't think anyone would care whether I'm good or bad; I think they're just asking out of habit. I mean, what could they do if I said I was bad?

[DarKnight36]

Even if you're a feel bad , who would care?

[Nikki1989]

Well, I am fine 99% of the time, but if I do have a problem, I will say so.

[Agape93]

Yeap. Most dont care and the ones that do can't help, so there's no point in telling em.

[NathanDavis]

I only say I am fine, when I am fine

[MrChinaski]

Usually. If it's an acquaintance.

[BadInfluence05]

Yea because I’m not dead yet.

[DarKnight36]

May god protect you.
