My younger sister wants to know how I truly am and asks
'How is your health'. So I know she cares and wants an honest answer.
Others ask 'How are you'. I say I am good or goodish today. Those really interested pick up on 'Today' and a proper conversation can happen. Others can pass on.
I do appreciate and understand that people can be flummoxed and don't know how to ask and that is OK. Occasionally I can answer I'm actually buzzing today.
Oh by the way 'I'm actually good today ' Thanks for asking
I hope that someday you can use the response with sincerity. I think my wife has finally given up on responding “I’m fine” since I immediately respond with “what’s wrong”. I usually respond to “how are you” with “i have many blessings.” (Which is always true no matter how much crap is occurring in my life.) for most people, that’s the end but some follow up and i try to be honest without going down on the floor sobbing.
If you don`t mind I will use that very statement because it is truth without collapse. 😲☺️
I am glad your wife learned from your tenacity of finding out the root of the problem.
I didn`t want my story to come off as a rant so I framed it as satire (in truth) to what I have been experiencing this past week and especially since Monday.
