    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."
