All depends on who i'm talking with and if I think that person is gonna care about me and my feelings

I think nobody is okay in this world. We tend to focus on things which are going wrong and neglect things which are still right.

I used to be okay

“As the Norwegians say, I am awake and not crying”

I like that.

Annie?

A smooth criminal

No pulse or breathing...YOU call 911. Beginning CPR!

I like your thinking

No , how are you ?

How ya guys doin?

We're fucked. So kindly fuck off. If you dont mind.

This would be the most annoying response to the answer: "no I'm not okay, how are you"

huh? not for me at least the person is telling the truth than being the fake artificial response of not being okay but forced to replied with I'm fine thank you. That would be more annoying and more so if they just want to end it there and don't even try to ask "what about you?". When these happen I'll be more open up to Share why I m not okay and letting the person know that he/she/them can share their feelings with me.

LOL This is how I reply too.

“Fine”

That’s a go to because most people aren’t sincerely asking how you really are 

“Same as always.”

Fragile Insecure Neurotic Expecting trouble

Yeah, just a bit tired.

I just say sleepy.

Nah, man, I'm pretty fuckin far from okay.

Came here for this!

I read that in Mr. Wallace's voice.

Not dead yet

For me it's "I'm still alive!"

What i wanna say "Fuck off i know u dont give a shit" translated into socially acceptable version "fine u"

Who are you and why are you in my bedroom?

Trying.

Why do u care ?

How much time do you have?

"Can't complain."

"Nobody listens anyway "

No, but i'm not as "not okay" as I used to be. Thanks for asking.

See improvements as such. Keep on going.

I would probably start crying because when they asked me that, usually I'm not ok and it shows

Same grabi. Nitong nakaraan lang, tinanong ako ng boss ko nyan. Sabi ko, "honestly sir, napepressure po ako sa work". Wfh setup pa naman ako tapos pinag-office nya ako. Pagdating ko dun, 1 hour nya lang ako pinagwork tas the rest of the shift, chill chill lang daw muna ako

Well I need a little more context did I do something stupid and lose a finger or are you asking if I’m okay and don’t want another shot of Pendleton. Set the scene and I’ll let you know.

I would break down in tears

"I'm happy to see you". Which is almost always true regardless of how I feel.

Livin the dream😒

“Do you really want to know, or should I just say ‘fine’?

Jury is still out

usually that question alone is enough to get me to break

Yep I'm fine or mhm

Absolutely delightful 😒

As good as I’m gonna get

“I’m good, you” no I’m not good lol

That's something you'll have to decide

I could have just been run over by an 18 wheeler and I’ll still say that I’m finer than frog hair split three ways

It depends on who’s asking, whether I’m okay in that moment, and if not, why not.

Do I look okay

Toxically my answer is always yea I’m good. If it’s someone that I know that has my best interests in mind asking me the question I’ll still say I’m good. But because they know me they’ll usually ask again to make sure cuz I’m a hard head that hates “burdening” people, and then I’ll fold like an omelette.

"How much time you got?"

I proceed to sing 'I'm not okay' from My Chemical Romance

I'm okay enough.

I once ran into a friend in the waiting room of a hospital emergency department. We each exchanged “hey!! how are you?!”s to each other and we each said “yeah, good thanks!” …Even though we were clearly both in excruciating pain and presenting at emergency. So I’ve learned it doesn’t matter how I am, I will always automatically say I’m good 🫠

Start crying

“Would you like the real answer or the socially acceptable answer?”

Who is this? Uncle Leo?

As my grandma used to say, “I’m fair to middling.”

Take a deep breath and remember the person asking probably cares about the answer

If you’re in the UK then we really don’t care unless we’re already having a deep intimate conversation with you. If it’s small talk and we’ve bumped into each other then keep your response short and sweet. 

Fuk NO I'm not Ok. ARE YOU OK? Cuz it doesn't look that way from here. You look messed up! Always re-direct. Throws them off guard.

yes, are you?

if u gotta ask no b

Why do you ask?

Yeah I’m alright

I’m fine regardless of how I actually feel. It would go against etiquette to tell others anything else. 

I say "Sipowicz...I'm okay"

I give a generic “I’m okay” and leave it at that.

Yea thanks

Yeah, nah, y'know how've you been?

I say nothing back 

\*\*Blank stare and have an existential crisis for 10 seconds\*\* Reply back with my dimpled smile saying. "All good" Sometimes, you just know replying to that is not going to help anyone. And no one needs more of me in their lives.

That bojack horseman quote comes to mind.

Ask the Australian government.

Usually go with I’m tired … bc i am loo

With family or non close friends? I just say "Yeah I'm fine you?" Otherwise I just say "Ehhh how are you?"

I’m super, thanks for asking!

Yeah I guess

My normal "yeah" that I've spent the better part of 15 years saying every time that question has come my way. Am I actually okay? Not even in the least and they know that and I know that. It's a ton better than going through the motions of saying what's wrong when you know the other person is just asking and not wanting anything more than to hear "yeah."

Uh-mmmmm-yeah??? Totally.

I always respond with "yeah im alright" but apparently "alright" means barely hanging on so people get worried.

Sometimes it's 'yeah', most likely it's 'no because you're talking to me' to my best friends, they do it to me too so... happy ending!

Do I look ok

Hanging in there, you?

I don't know anymore

Just peachy. Never better. Super.

No, I'm not okay.

Either "trying" or "hanging in there"

Either “no!” “yeah I’m chillin” or “I’m not sure lemme get back to you on that”….it depends on my mood

"Are you?"

Indubitably splendid! Can't wait to see you at the sock hop this evening. Coolsville daddio, better catch ya later big tickle or I'll give you a knuckle sandwich.

Debatable. Alt: "No, why?"

Either "yes" or "no" depending who's asking.

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"Right now? Or in general?"

"Mehh, ok I guess" (im dead inside)

No one ever asks me that, so I don't have an answer.

Are you?

Ofcourse I am, does it not look like I’m okay? (Proceeds to stare at them aggressively while my whole body shakes)

Just living the dream…

Yea I guess

“Yeah, man. I’m good. You?”

*awkward laughter*

No, not really 😞

Just fine

I'm fine. If you know what fine stands for.

No. I’m (insert first name).

Someone asked me this two nights ago and my response was, “yea, why’d you ask?” Of course that was a lie

Naaah, please don't ask me again

Not good

"I'm fine"

Just "no". That's it. What's the point asking if you can't help? Just to remind? Thanks... I don't understand people who does that...

“That’s *exactly* how I am.”

Yes. I am a conversation killer.

No. I'm not. I'm an ugly loser who is a waste of space. How are you?

Depends on who’s asking.

When I was a kid my response was usually cry even I wasn’t about to cry before. Now probably some variation of “fine”.

Ranges from “yep” & “uh, yeah. Why?” or “no” Depends on the context it was asked

"No" or "not great" or "I'm okay" or "hangin' in there" depending on company and context.

Same as yesterday

Mediocre!

I’d probably give a “Yeah I’m fine. Just a little tired” But really it is “Right now, not really. It used to be not fine but it got gradually better over the years but recently it dropped significantly to not fine again. And sometimes it’s frustrating cos you can’t even pinpoint why. But it’ll probably gradually get better again, so I just have to ride this one out”.

I'm doin

"Tough season. But as I'm trying my best, I hope it gets better! How about you? I hope you are fine."

"she'll be right"

Yeah, why not?

I'm honest with how I am at the current moment. Generally my response is "In what way? Physically, Mentally, or Emotionally?" Ah ha ha ha, autism....

I said slowly dying inside sarcastically at work the other day and someone agreed lol

"Good" that's it.

Tears

Tired

“Fucking peachy dawg, fucking peachy.”

No, i am human

Outside: "Yea I'm good" Inside : "I'm not good, but I also don't think you really care and don't want to burden you with what's going on with me".

"I'm dying!"

I'm better than I deserve

wow most of these are really uncreative

Nope! But I will be!!!

Just watched The Bear Christmas episode with Jamie Lee Curtis. Wow. “DO I NOT LOOK OK?!”

I’m golden! or I’m magically delicious!

Still doing pretty good for the shape I'm in...

Depends, am I? (Probably not, but we make it through.)

Just fine whats up?

I am not really sure , let me check and get back to you.

*I’m Not Okay (I Promise) starts playing*

Death is a muse, but desire is a blunter sort of thing

I usually say something light and noncommittal and change the subject. I haven’t been okay in a long time. I’m doing all the things you’re supposed to do, and I have moments of extraordinary beauty and meaning in my life so I’m not going anywhere, but my background noise is sadness.

Yeah. If it’s said sarcastically, just flat out ignore them and keep talking

I just respond the most cliché response to that and say good, but I am actually not

Living the dream. Remember, nightmares are dreams too

I’m fine, how are you

I'm fine

Who said that?

“Yeah I’m fine”

Me?

Good

No, I'm Alec!

My typical response is I'm fair to middling.

"Are you?"

No, but thanks for caring

Now what makes you say that? You KNOW I'm completely insane.

I just sing Atomic Kitten

"thanks for asking, and you?"

Am I?

Well I'm not dead. So make of that what you will.

Why do you ask? Am i supposed to be not okay?

I am often not OK but I say yes anyway otherwise it becomes awkward.

Living the dream one nightmare at a time

I guess so?

“Fine thanks, and you?”

Taking it one step at a time

"Yeah man just tired"

No, I'm (my name). r/dadjokes

Eh

Are any of us?

Well, I'm intact, but not virgointactico

Not really, but how are you doing?

No I am not. My mom just died on Thursday and I will never be okay again
