… *cringe*

Note:

It’s a joke and at the same time it’s not.
Isn’t it ironic how the most typical casual greeting formula, aiming at establishing a friendly connection to the other, can be like a torture – exactly because no honest answer is expected.

    yes! I’m much better at communicating my inner states through music, movement, and behaviors.

    When people ask me how I’m doing, I want to respond by saying, “Look at what I’m doing and guess, because that’s what I’m going to do.”

    them: how are you doing?

    me: I don’t know. I’m maniacally cleaning the house…so I probably feel disorganized, like things are out of control, and energetic.

    them: woah, I didn’t know things were that bad.

    me: they’re not because I’m cleaning the house.

    them: I’m so confused 🤔

    me internally: and I’m supposed to be the disordered one 🙄
