“I’m good”

Written by:

As time will go on, it will become clear that I believe in true honesty, not necessarily constant, but being truthful and transparent.

Something that stems from that is the topic of this post. Even with my desire for honesty, I still find myself instinctively saying certain generic remarks before I can think about it.

The most common one I’m referring to goes like this:

“Hey! How are you doing?”

“Oh hey I’m good. Yup, nothing to complain about.”

At least something along those lines. After I say I’m good, I always think to myself “dang it I’m not good, now they think I’m doing well”. And this may sound dramatic, but I keep finding myself doing this, and it gets increasingly annoying to myself, because if I’m not ok I want to be able to say it and maybe even talk about it openly.

Does anyone else think about this? Maybe not to my extent, but at least sometimes.
