I ping pong between telling the truth or just saying "I'm fine, thanks"! I've found that colleagues and friends who are mostly health care workers like myself just can't help themselves! They invalidate how I'm actually feeling every single time! They'll say "have you considered stress, that you're just noticing things more now "etc as if I had no insight into that myself!!!! It makes me want to scream! So rather than trust them with a trustful answer to "How are you?" , I'll save myself the frustration and just say fine ! 🙂 It is in my head!!!!!!!!!😉
