Do you honestly answer? I nearly always do. I'm not afraid of telling people I'm down or hurting or feeling anxious even. It puts a lot of people off, and pushes away others that I thought cared but the few that stay are worth being around, regardless of how messed up they are, because we all are. I'm not afraid to admit it.
Do you honestly answer that question? |

Usually I'll say "Good" or "Doing ok", it's not always honest but I don't like to divulge how I'm truly feeling to people I'm not close with. Sometimes it's easier to tell a little white lie.

Easier to lie, yes. I've been told I shouldn't divulge my life to strangers, but odds are they will still be strangers later so I give it a shot. I've got a few friends that know that it's a serious question and we all answer it that way, and always have.

I always say something on the neutral-positive spectrum, to keep the vibes up

How I answer that question really depends who's asking. Some people use it as a generic greeting. If it's someone who knows me and I feel comfortable sharing with them I tell the truth. Other times I hide.

It depends on the person.. if it's someone who cares and I trust, I will tell the truth.

I’m fine , I’m always fine.
I have a couple fellow bipolar friends on here I can be like “ omg I am going to lose my shyt” I left my T when we moved 750 miles away , I miss him I could be 100 % honest with him. Have yet to find a T here , financially it’s impossible atm and there will not be another “Richard” we worked together weekly for 6 years unless one of us was on vacation. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

How you doing?
How are you? When people ask those I am honest sometimes. The problem is I don’t want them to ask follow up questions. I just want it to be a one and done exchange which is why I’m not always honest. Ok Ok I guess I’m ok Fine Good Good enough Not so good Those are about the only answers I ever use and sometimes they are accurate. |

I know ALOT of people with their own shyt going on, last thing they need from me is bring down the tone.
No one can help me with my crap but me, And what if they are asking cos they are the ones feeling shytty, and then they get loaded with my downer too. Nah, I know who is ok to be open with and who isn't. Besides there are always those little weasels who pretend they give a Damn but twist everything to their own needs. I can sniff those b#ggers out like a Fart in a car. __________________ I Don't Care What You Think Of Me...I Don't Think Of You At All.CoCo Chanel. |

I disagree, others can be very helpful. "For their own..." is seeming like narcissists? They suck as people, truly. |
