Please don't ask if I'm ok....

The conversation goes like this "Are you ok?"...."Yes, I'm ok" .... "Are you sure?"....

I hate this conversation. Most people don't really want an honest answer to that question. When people ask if I am ok, I feel obligated to say Yes.... no matter how I actually feel. In most cases, I want to say "I am grieving, thanks for asking".

I would much prefer someone to ask me..."have you laughed today?" and then tell me a joke.

I hear ya! When I get that question, I just say "I'm F.I.N.E." It stands for frustrated, insane, needy, and emotional. He-he. However, people just hear "fine." So, it works for me. ;)
