I ask, "Do you really want to know the truth." Otherwise, don't ask. And when I ask someone how they are doing, I genuinely expect an authentic answer. Life's to short not to care about others. Drives me nuts.

@Notsimilarreally thank you for ba.
Ps. If I don't want to know. I won't ask. Some days I have to protect myself because my soul can't handle their pain and mine at the same time. Empathy can be a real witch, but it's a blessing too.

@ThesebootsRmade4walking Kudos. I'm one that says the lie I'm fine because I know they asked out of politeness and don't really give a damn or want to listen to a truthful answer.

@Gibbon I completely understand that though? It's a light, fluffy surface level question. I like the depth and human connection of truth and vulnerability, but most people fear that type of thing. We gotta keep society neat and tidy so we don't stir up the dust and make people uncomfortable. I try my best to embrace the awkwardness. It gives me more depth, strength and growth. If that makes sense lol

I think that lots of people here on SW (including me) would be more than happy to listen to you. It's healthy to unload things when you aren't feeling okay!

I say it to strangers because I feel like they just being polite. They probably don’t really want to know why.
