How are you?
Wed Aug 26, 2009 3:58:11 pm
Someone just sent me a message asking only this question. There was no other text in the message. This is one of the most difficult questions for me to answer. I know that it's a very common one that people ask and that it might be the most commonly answered question, but I never know how to give a proper answer.
If I don't care to tell the person how I really am, I usually just say "I'm OK", but the real answer is much more difficult to give, because I don't know the answer. I don't think it's a problem of numbness. I know how I am when I am feeling a strong emotion, but the majority of time, I am in a neutral state. I have observed that some people circumvent this issue by not actually declaring their present condition. Instead, they discuss some event that is happening in their life, but without necessarily specifying how this event affects their current state of being.

I wish I had nice comforting words.
It's okay. Thank you. I hope you're still having your fingers (or other body parts) crossed for me (a while back you said you would do that..)I wish I had nice comforting words.

I see. We should switch places then!
It sometimes happens here. I'd say "hello" and the other person would not even look up at me. Then I get to hear the price of the article. I pay. I say "Thank you". Don't get a reply. Then I say "Bye"...nothing. No I don't like that. I don't want them to become my friends, but being treated friendly by others that I treat friendly would be nice.

How do you know that isn't why I asked? :(
I think when you ask it on the internet you pretty much could expect anything from a "fine" to a life story. Or a link to an old blog where new friends come to chat. :)
