If You’re Not Fine Just Say So!
<p>Thank you for this prompt </p>
<p>. Why do people say that they’re “<strong>fine</strong>” when they’re<strong> not</strong>? Why do we hide our emotions? Is this something that you do in your life? Do you do it with specific people but not others? Who do you tell the truth to about how you feel at any given time (if anyone)? Do you think the world would be better if all people said what they were truly feeling at all times? <strong>Explain.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Key Points</strong></h2>
<p>Here are some key points in this article:</p>
<ul>
<li>If we say “I’m fine” when we’re not, it may be a way to avoid conflicts and to pretend we have no problem.</li>
<li>Childhood developmental trauma can cause us to be afraid of conflict or we may not understand our feelings.</li>
<li>Overcoming avoidance to express your feelings takes a plan to change that unhealthy behavior.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Are You Fine?</strong></h2>
<p>I have said I’m fine when I’m not, but I don’t do that with my husband or other family members now. I did it at work sometimes as I wanted to be successful on the job and I was often dealing with lupus flare ups. I didn’t want everyone to know about my personal problems. I developed that behavior as a child.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs often want to project an air of success. A confident you might say “Fake it till you make it’. If you are feeling stressed during a tough time you may use mantras or aphorisms as they make us feel better. You might say “Everything happens for a reason” or some other mantra.</p>
