Are You "Fine"?

[TrustYourSoul]

Someone asked me today how I was doing. I said, "I'm fine." Then they said, "That doesn't mean anything." I tilted my head, asked what they meant, and they said, "Saying you're fine is a non-answer." I shrugged, and pretty much walked away. I still don't get it.

I say I’m okay a lot and everyone is like what do you mean your okay and I’m like I’m just okay I don’t know how to express it I’m not good I’m not feeling bad I’m just okay .

That's weird.Here when English is not our language, we're taught that if someone asks about how we're doing, there's only 1 option to reply.

I'm fine,thank you،and how are you?

I guess English teachers here should find other options to reply,lol 😂😂😂

It can be a negative answer people ask me that at the moment, it's the face I give them🙄

" I'm fine!" which means I'm not fine but I don't want to talk about it! Look to their face when they reply to your question "How are you doing?"

Great perspective. Body language is Always important. I was smiling and feeling good. If I had said "Good" instead of "Fine", maybe they would have found that to be a better answer. ... odd.

I have had it, I cannot sleep, my brain knows, my fingers and toes cringing. My relatives giving me gifts for absolutely no reason? I told them I was downsizing, what do they do, give me gifts! I am claustrophobic, more 'rubbish'! No family hugs anymore! They know that I know! I did not deserve this, my PC outlook is getting worse, I have TOO MUCH wrong with me, absolutely NOTHING to look forward too, no incentive! Some of my family trying to get me to believe false solace with religion, stopped believing that forty years ago, that actually helped just thinking about that, a short solace from the most unlikely of places! Breathe in! I have lost touch with todays society, arrogant and corrupt! IF I was to survive this short charade, no ambitions left, no heaven on the other side! Dementia beckons! My only way out now is death, I feel I am flying towards a hard place! I am psychic that has been proved many times, my inner soul knows, death is close! I have tried suicide many times, that is why my body cringes so! How? More medical appointments on the horizon, they clash so many times, running out of options! I need for that body clock to be turned OFF!

Amazing what can happen in 17 hours, chemotherapy for prostate cancer [the heavy stuff?] my sister will be in my corner, she's recovered from Thyroid cancer, knows the routine, my brother went through the procedure himself, nine years ago, realistically still a bit tender about it! Big day 23rd November, reckon will probably off line until new year. All my medical team versed up, my Schwannomatosis NF3 has been causing most problems with complications, hopefully get a couple days break before then🤞Mind has cleared a bit, a bit more realistic? All the best Adlon👍
