I'm fine..

really means: I need a hug and someone to talk to..

It's strange how people automatically ask you how you are doing, without wanting a real answer. They expect you to say: I'm fine. They don't want to hear you're not okay. Then why do they ask in the first place? Is it not okay to say you're not coping well? Are you supposed to lie and deny the way you truly feel? People are strange sometimes. They are pretty occupied with themselves, without thinking about the other. It's like they pretend to care, but they don't. That's kinda sad..

Good friends know if you're doing well or not. They don't need to ask. They can sense it. Call it the 6th sense if you want. That's why friends are so important. No need to pretend you feel great when you really don't. FYI, I feel fine.. thanks for asking..
