you know whenever people ask you how you are doing? and you always tell them the same thing. You are fine, you are okay, you're doing good. The most random people will ask you this question daily, store associates, dentists, doctors, telemarkerts. All people that you don't really know, and yet when you're friends or family ask you the same question you have the same answer. Everyone says that they are fine and they are doing well. But are they really? No doubt that there are people who really mean that life is going well for them but what about those times when you get into a nasty situation or fight and you're really upset about it and one of those randoms asks you how you are doing. What do you say? Same thing. And why? because it isnt their business nor their concern to know whats happened to you in your life. But what if life was different, what if we had no choice but to tell people EXACTLY how we feel when they ask us. What if it was something that we couldnt control and everyone would go about sharing their feelings and actually being honest about how they feel towards one another. Imagine, you find a guy attractive and he asks you how you are and you straight up tell him that you feel a connection with him. Or if you went to the doctors and your doctor asks you how you`ve been and you go into great detail about how upset you`ve been that your boyfriend dumped you for yoru best friend and your parents see you as a child with no freedom and your school work has been disasterious because all of this stress and etc.
Imagine a life where our emotions could never be hidden. I would assume that maybe people would stop asking each other how they are doing in fear that the answer they get is too personal. Or maybe we would all just know how everyone feels because everyone would have to be honest about it. Would that be so bad?
