I’m fine

The most told lie in the English language. Used when someone is, in fact, not fine, but drowning in their sadness. They say ‘I’m fine’ because they don’t want to worry anyone with their problems, and it’s easier than explaining what’s wrong.

person 1 : how are you, you look upset?
person 2 : oh, I’m fine thanks, just tired
person 2 is not fine.
I’m tired - tired of living, tired of fighting, tired of waking up everyday to fight a constant battle going on inside their head.
