I was raised never talking about feelings. I never seen my mother cry except when her father passed away. As an adult I would just say “I’m fine” when asked how I was. A few years ago I stopped doing that. Now I say “ I’m decent”.
I do not believe in faking it. My niece had a baby shower. I was not about to go be fake happy and smile. She gave birth two weeks later I went to my sister’s house to visit my niece and her baby. It was not crowded. It was relaxing and I did not have anxiety.
