It's unfortunate when people behave in such a way that they require you to lie to them just to keep the peace. If you don't want me to lie to you, don't punish me for telling you the truth.
Oh, this exactly. If I say exactly how I am, I'll end up being accused of trying to garner sympathy or that I'm "feeling sorry for myself." No, I just don't see any point in lying when I've come to embrace the fact that I'm not "fine." Yeesh. Now that I actually type that out, it sounds pretty horrible, doesn't it? :/
Or if you actually tell the truth and they harass you for telling them what they didn't want to hear. If you don't want the answer, don't ask the question. I don't think much of asking questions just to "be polite."
