Ask Your Question today
I used to love having someone who I could always tell what was wrong and they'd make me feel better, but now I hate it when people ask me that. I guess maybe it's because then I have to actually think about how I really feel and sometimes I'm less ok then I thought I was..? :S
All semantics. It's just a pleasantry. Like "Good to see you" --- maybe or maybe not. It's better than being cussed out or knocked upside the head, agree?
I agree :3
My dad hates 'are you OK?' I swear, if he fell off a building and I asked if he was OK he would yell at me and tell me he was fine xD
It gets on my nerves too. What's the point of asking someone that if you really don't give a shit? Or asking someone who obviously isn't ok or doesn't feel like talking about it? I especially hate when people ask me that non-stop, even after I've said that I was fine already. You'd think people would be able to handle the truth!
Same. I got too cocky and tripped down the stairs. Then they ask "Are you okay?". Completely oblivious to what just happened. Next time I see them, I'll kick them down the stairs and ask with a fake-ass smile. ^_^
when I ask "how are you" or "If your ok" I ask because I really want to know and want to become closer so when their hurt maybe I can relieve their pain,yet because I seem real apathetic they think I dont care and that makes me sad but because I am apathetic they should know If I didnt care I wouldnt ask. :c
I tell them that my mother and father and 3 other family members have just died, then i scream "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I FEEL?"
It annoys me sometimes. Especially when I'm in an awkward conversation with someone..and the best thing they can come up with is "how are you?"..minutes after they had already asked once. I'm a hypocrite though because I do the same thing during awkward moments.
same here. wen someone ask "how are you?" or "how was your day?" i get grumpy (even if i was in the happiest mood ever) then say fine... and sulk for an hour. they care any way.
How about a hearty "Have a great day!" from random cashiers/fastfood-employees? Makes me wanna rip the persons head off..
I hate it to, its even more annoying when the answer is 'I'm feeling bad, life is a mess' and yet all I can say is 'I'm fine' whilst the negative thoughts go arounf my head.
It sucks if you were in a positive mood to start with =S
HAHAHA!! This is hilarious...I never really thought about it, but you are so right! It's definitely fake 9/10 of the time when someone asks it, but our society refuses to deem it a 'faux pas'...
Agree. Next time some mindless twit asks, go into a diatribe. They will never ask again.
i agree with lewlew. i hate it when people ask me that because i know they dont really care. hell, i dont usually care when i ask people that. So thats 3 for 3. you are completely normal! :)
