Caleb Stine, there's no harm in being crazy

If you learn how to hide it, at just the right times
And we're all a little lonely
You just can't let it on at the check out lines
When they ask you how you're doing you just gotta say, "fine."
I'm alright, just a little tired.
Don't ask
Ughhhh
It goes...
Well i'm here (for work related garbage)
I just say hello/hey/etc. Not lying, not breaking the social expectations. Just in and out of the convo asap
"Let me get back to you on that..."
"Not too bad."
"I'm not sure"
It's rarely all bad. Then that would be simply the answer. The problem is that it's often complicated (not the emotional capacity of a teaspoon, for those who get that reference) and idk how to summarise that into a single feeling so I literally don't know what the answer is and so that's when you get an idk from me
If it's just a pleasantry by some english person (in my language this isn't a standard question a stranger or customer support will ask you) then I'll probably pick a random euphemism
From Germans I've learned that they say "muss", meaning must. Like, you must get on with life but not because you seek out what you're going through but because life doesn't stop. At least that's my working understanding of this deceptively simple word
