not be on for a bit,........but i wont bore you all. just wanted to know what other people say when someone asks.how are you?.........my favorite one at the minutes is either .........."fair to crap...........or crap to suicidal.. makes them think....and the looks on their faces makes me laugh.........just a little pick me up for the day

[Lou1054]

It depends who is asking, close family and friends get the full picture because they care and of course it is very safe here to let on how you are doing, everyone else I just say I'm fine thank you xx

i think for me, it depends on who is asking. I normally say i'm doing ok, or i'm plodding along as always ..... close family & friends I will be honest with how i'm feeling - but then they usually know without me having to say anything (or if i try to say i'm ok they will soon tell me i'm not). hazel x

Well I have a neighbour that about year ago said oh I thought I seen u in mall but then I thought no it couldn't of been cause you never had your walking stick,so he lives at bus stop ,so this year I have 2sticks right?,so I always wave and shout him ask how he is,sees him two month ago he says oh I thought I seen u at bus stop with2sticks but u only have one today,so I sees him but he never seen me tonight I shouts hi jimmy how's you?I says look I have my two sticks tonight!!!!lol!I couldn't resist it.it always seems to be older men that comment to me,but I was in agony tonight and couldn't be bothered way passive aggressive lol

See when I see someone able to be without a stick I say its great to see them getting a more pain free day but give them into bother for not using thier stick thier pyhsio gave them lol.

No one asks, except maybe my kids or grandkids once in a blue moon. Then again, I have never told them how awful I feel. My hubby is always supportive despite the fact that I'm a crab. M.A. in USA

When out and about I always reply 'fine thanks' when asked how I am. I couldn't bear to bore people with the details. Then I ask how they are or make the conversation light hearted. I find putting a positive spin on things makes me feel better and having cheerful light hearted conversations cheer me up.

The people who really know me know how I am but even they need not to be brought down by every detail.

I sometimes say - how long have you got? 😂

[Cakeygirl]

Love that one, they expect you to say good or not too bad

[Jennyw59]

I think i bore people with my problems that won't change so it's easier to say i'm fine thanks then talk about them. Close friends & relatives know how I am and don't often ask but i'm honest with them if they do. I usually say how I feel but stop short of saying how I REALLY feel!
