[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say I'm fine but a good response is "I've seen better days" or "I'm hanging in there." [/quote]

I knew someone who always said things like that and it came across as such a passive-aggressive cryptic attention grab. It always turned me off from asking further. Whereas if someone was leaving a party and said "hey can we get together next week for a walk?" I'd say of course and listen to them for hours. [/quote]

I think it's a totally fine answer and better than, sh&tty I lost another baby last week. [/quote]

I’d rather they just say I lost a baby last week. At least they’re being honest. Or say [b]I’m not doing well I’ll give you a call tomorrow to talk about it, for now let’s have fun! 
[/b]
The whole I’m not great, my life sux, but I won’t tell you why or ask for help is most miserable because you don’t know how to respond and it also kills the mood all night.[/quote]

Agree the bolded would be totally fine to say at a party.[/quote]

Np I would never say or do this to anyone but good friends.  Just lie op.  No one really cares except family and good friends.[/quote]
