Peeved, or worse
You know how when you hear people saying the same thing to you over and over, you want to rip their heads off???
I am going to take a moment to be a bitch here.
Stop asking me, "how are you?"
Stop it.
You freaking know that I'm doing terrible. You know I have better moments but in general my life is in the shitter. You know there's not much, if anything, you can do about it. Some of you are better at following through with real action and listening than others, and I do appreciate it, and I've told you so. But the off-hand, I-don't-expect-an-answer-other-than-I'm-fine questions have to stop or I am going to lose it -- and possibly beat you to a pulp.
I am trying my hardest to keep it together, but I can only take so much. If you are going to give me chocolate and keep your mouth shut, that's great. Now, you're helping me.
Otherwise, leave me alone and stop asking me that!
Thank you.

You should be feeling shitty, who wouldn't? I'm sorry you are feeling such hurt--I can't imagine what it must feel like. Just know that it will pass. Hang in, Girl.
Thanks, NWO. It's unbelievably shitty and tragic, but I'll make it out the other side.
I know you will make it, GEG. And one of my favorite lies that I tell frequently, you should adopt as your personal mantra:
"I'm fine, thanks, and you?"
You;re absolutely right, most of the time when people are asking "how are you," they don't really care how you are - so don't take it personally. It's just another flavor of Hello.
Offering you a very very large chocolate bar, smiling and backing up slowly :)
Chocolate and a smile? Come sit by me, sister. :)
I dont mind if they ask in their best Joey fron Friends Brooklyn voice....
"How you doin?"
