What to say

[cassie_o]

Since I'm back on doing this and expressing feelings as such more this way than others. It has been a week or two of no fun. My kidneys are bothering me. I'm passing a stone. I'm always asked. How are you doing? Well most times people don't want to know the answer to the question. How are you has become something people just ask. I never know what

I usually go with "It could be worse", which is always true. (No situation is so bad that *something* can't make it worse. Traumatic injuries, unexpected expenditures, the loss of a loved one, etc.) Changing the subject is often a good follow-up. If they don't take the hint, telling them point blank "I don't wanna talk about it" is perfectly acceptable.
