I am sorry this happens.....it is the normal greetings I have noticed even on the phone....& anytime one encounters another person they know in the store or on the street. It is rather a common curtesy statement that people say......not that they really truely care How are You? or Are you OK?.....sadly, this has become just an introductory phrase that has become commonly used by everyone....whether they really care or not.....or if they really want to know or not.

Don't you just hate when meaningless words become the norm?

I just tend to let it slide, knowing what is reality those words actually are.

I agree with you....no one wants to know that you aren't ok & the explaination as to why you aren't really ok & never have been ok is way too long for a chat room anyway.

If you look at languages all around the world, they are filled with irrelevant, meaningless phrases that are just the niceities that have become standard to open a conversation with.

I always thought when I was in Italy how strange to answer the phone with "pronto". What is the world does that mean anyway? Fast, speed it up?????.....it isn't even a real word for hello....go figure....language & the use of phrases are strange & have evolved forever.

Please don't get your feathers too ruffled....I'm sure they don't mean to be rude.....but it is good that you graceiously point out your feelings about the usage of this phase & how it bothers you.....it is good when something bothers you to be able to express it & I acknowledge the fact that you are able to do this.

You have my respect,
Debbie

(((WMD))) I never ask are you ok to anyone unless I really have time to find out, and offer some support etc, or unless someone is there to offer support. It isn't meaningless for me. I'm sorry it triggers you and I will do my best to not ask you.

If someone does ask, rather than leaving, could you try to use the "away" setting and then sit and tell yourself, it's ok, it's ok, they aren't trying to trigger me, I am ok" and then come back into chatting as you can?

Let us at PC help you work through this too, as I know we all appreciate your chat input and needs too.

>>>. Eskie ... >>>>. Thank You ,,, So Very Much ,,,, ...

And Debbie >>>>. >>> And the Respect is LIKEWISE .>> .

[I_WMD]

,,, {{{ Sky }}}.....The question are you Ok is so open ended ..... I try to narrow the focus down to aaaaaaaaaa??? " So Hows your Day Been "?

Makes for a starting point. Then If I see a peep is going to a place ,,, that I would assume is a need of support and listen ,,,, I would rather be there for the Care of others ,, than to <<<<. Do my own " You Don't Want to know ". For in time I work it out through my self awareness.

But all in all ... T/Y Sky HI ...LOL . You Cool .

[AAAAA]

(((((wmd)))) I'll try to pay better attention to what I'm saying. It's natural for me to ask how you're doing, I will make an effort to make sure I don't ask.

[I_WMD]

T/Y AAAAA ,,, I know you well enough and I know or hope I am sure you know what I mean .

For actually I post here enough in certain places that ,,, It is My Barometer.

I just always try to follow *your* cue...returning what's given and shown to me.

I tend to be as you are in that if I have a specific need, I don't hesitate to ask and most times I just want to "get away from it".

Thanks, hon.

I can relate to this. When I am experiencing anxiety, sometime s the absolute worst trigger for me is someone to say "Are you ok?"

As then i start to question if I really am ok, and then it just makes everything worse.

Thank you for letting us know so we can better support you WMD

[kimmydawn]

Oh yeah, rainbowzz. If someone asks me that more than once, or more than one person does, I begin to wonder if I'm *not* acting OK...then I can get into self-doubt, anxiety, etc.

Coolio Kimmio,,,, Yea ,,, I prefer the PRN approach as to myself ..>>> hehe.

Thank You ,,,,

[I_WMD]

RRRRRRRAaaaaaaiiinnnnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,,, LOL . . It is better for us not to know,,,, than to go,,,,,,,,,,,>>>> ?????

Thank You >>> Rainzz. .

[I_WMD]

K D >>> Yep ,,,, the *not* Acting ...>>>> ???? .

Thing is ,,, we all have something dwelling on our minds to some extent .

And sometimes we take the time to do good self - care first .

I am a worrier by nature. I worry about my own troubles, I worry about my sons' troubles, my parents' troubles, and my friends' troubles. I am a worrier.....and yes WMD...that means I worry about you and everybody else on this website whom I know or meet.

I know that ti can be annoying when you are trying to just have a laugh and everybody is just re-hashing the problems. But all it takes is the words "fine thanks" and we can get on to other chat topics.

That having been said....Why did the cookie go to the doctor? Because he felt crummy.

[I_WMD]

Answer to riddle >>>> Because he was a Graham Cracker and he just Broke up with his "smores " LOL.

IN 2 My Friend from a good while ago ,,,,, .

Yes IN 2 ,, we as humans are nuturers in ways as motherly and fatherly ,,,,, But to know when we can do hands on fixing ....??? ... That is where we should find ourselves well in most aspects ,,, Then when we choose to help another carry their burdens or troubles at the moment <<<<<<<<<<<,,,,,,,,,,,>>>>>>> We are More capable to go the long haul .

lol

See you online soon.
