How are you?

[oldtimer159]

As we grow older, the frequency of "How are you" decreases day by day from people.. Even friends. And that's the time it's most needed.

So, How are you guys?

Very depressed,thinking my life is not worthy anymore,but thanks for asking

[oldtimer159 in reply to chiquita1971]

Yeah I'm feeling like that myself right now. But it does pass away and there's sometimes moments of bliss atleast for me. And I won't say that cliche.. "I live for those moments". But nowadays I say, it is what it is. Gotta hustle.

It worries me when people keep asking how I am ? Sometimes I feel I am missing something. However I am quite happy if family ask me a couple of times a week. I just do not want to be remembered as getting old, and they seem to be waiting for me to kick the bucket and hurt my toe in the process before I hopefully go to those pearly gates

Hahahaha... I get where you're coming from.

I hear you Bob. Since there is "How are You" and "How are You" making you want to

say, "Why, don't I look good"? Just remember that it's more of a formality than a real

caring question. Half the time, I don't think people hear the response. xx

Hello Agora.

In my case how are you is simplistic question, I am what I am . If there is something not right I normally tell my Wife as she picks up on My condition because I ask for an increase in medication levels if required. As you explain the reply is so very questionable.

I went to see my GP just before Christmas and she said You look really good, that worries me more as I may not feel that way and then start questioning my own health. For example I am waiting to talk to hospital for my neck damage, my GP knows that and saying looking good you feel what is She missing ??.

I suppose I am to critical of peoples attitude to myself and Life. For example I have a tree to plant I am in pain and cannot plant the thing out because of my health concerns, this is generally normal for me to others it may a problem to me it is normal to the time of year. I am a creaking gate.

LOL

How are you, did you have a nice Christmas ??

Hi Bob, I had to laugh when you said if the doctor says you are looking good,

we even question that (I don't feel that good) lol

I may not worry about my aches and pains but they are there never the less.

And so I think, next time around I will be whole and new again lol

Christmas was good except it's over in a "blink".

I hope your holiday was nice Take care my friend

And Happy New Year! xx

Yes I agree that I feel lonely as I get older and I need to attend some support groups but with COVID, it’s hard to find any groups to join.
