someone asked me this today, and normally i would say.. yeah ok or not bad, even if it wasn't.. only today i couldn't stop my self ,, 5 minutes later, after a rant and a cry and telling her the full on truth . there is a stunned silence and she said,,, god i was only asking..
why do we ask this question, if we are not prepared to at least listen and be prepared to offer some sympothy or something..  |

its just a coversational nicety isnt it?
i have stopped asking my friend how he is now. he has a lifelong illness and does suffer daily. whenever i chat to him online and i ask how he is....thats it...end of conversation....its all about him and how each day goes for him.
dont get me wrong, i like him and am concerned about his health but when i say 'how are you' its just to be polite. if i then want to know how he is coping i will ask him seperately
i probably sound like a bitch here |

...no, just like the rest of us.
It's almost a rhetorical question isn't it. You don't really expect someone to reply "well I feel like shit actually!"
Now I sound insensitive.

I think you don't sound like a bitch.... or insensitive. I agree with what you both said.
OP, glad you feel better for getting it off your chest. Sometimes a good cry helps. Xx |
