If a friend casually asks you "how are you doing?" but you don't want to bother them with the truth would you rather:

@karb To me, alright just means not currently on fire, so that's the spirit in which I say it. The normal answer is good.

@karb I generally answer honestly, If they ask me, and it's someone that knows me, I assume they want the truth even if it's not a happy response.

A; Sometimes it's not that I don't want to bother them, but I generally don't want to bother myself with it

@karb my very few friends know to not ask this question

When someone else asks, i just cant lie and tell the truth, but this also means that are not going forward to become new friends :(

@Laberpferd

Okay, if someone I really don't know asks I always lie.

They don't really want to know, they're just going through the pleasantries.

I usually just share with people who I assume can at least relate and understand to a degree and actually want to know

@karb If it's an acquaintance or stranger, usually some kind of response like "it goes" or "it sure is a day" or "surviving".

With friends I'm pretty honest.

@karb

Depends on who is asking, but if I'm feeling miserable and don't want to talk about, but want to hint at it, I'll answer with: "alive"

If I don't know the person well enough and don't want to make myself vulnerable I'll either dodge the question, lie ("I'm ok") or pull out the classic "muss ja, ne?".

Seldomly, when I have enough energy in such a situation and know the person good enough, I'll answer honestly with what bothers me. And that usually helps a bit, even by just getting it out.

Although I'm currently in the privileged position of not needing that too often lately, as my situation has stabilized to a point. I've mostly come to terms with my difficulties, it's a heck of a journey, but definitely in a positive direction.

In any case, I wish you all the best with your personal struggles and wish you a soft, warm fluffderg hug [if you want] ^w^
