How Do You Feel

How Do You Feel? I don’t feel great on any given day, I know that’s not a too great thing to say, but were you in my shoes, you’d understand, I’m sure because I’m cursed with something for which there is no cure. Therefore, don’t ask someone, “How do you feel?” The answer you get back might be too real - leading to in-depth and boring discussions like talking about the person’s concussions. To ask how someone feels is just for a good friend or siblings you know who’ll be there till the end. But with anyone else you should simply say, “Hello there. I hope that you feel well today.” Jan. 23, 2023 for How Do You Feel Poetry Contest of Mystic Rose Rose

The Good God knows how much I relate to this. I am asked often how I feel. My answer is "as usual". Hugs.

Great advice Andrea. My daughter-in-law has a perfect answer when things are tough for her, "I'm hangin' in there!" I like that a lot better than "Oh, I'm fine!" which might be a lie, or "Not so good...." Requiring an explanation. It's best not to ask, truthfully!

You don't want to know.

Oh, I'm so depressed right now. I'm so glad I'm your sibling so that I can hear how you are and you can listen to my constant complaints.
