... *cringe*

Note:It's a joke and at the same time it's not.
Isn't it ironic how the most typical casual greeting formula, aiming at establishing a friendly connection to the other, can be like a torture -- exactly because no honest answer is expected.

Well, it has yet to come alive. No worries.
edit: "alexithymia"

btw. i believe that i am actually quite sure about my inner states, just that i don't want to boil it down to simple verbal language because that doesn't fit it. I would need to use a different language. Give me the right music and i will dance it, or let me get my drum and i will drum it!

yes! I'm much better at communicating my inner states through music, movement, and behaviors.

When people ask me how I'm doing, I want to respond by saying, "Look at what I'm doing and guess, because that's what I'm going to do."

them: how are you doing?

me: I don't know. I'm maniacally cleaning the house...so I probably feel disorganized, like things are out of control, and energetic.

them: woah, I didn't know things were that bad.

me: they're not because I'm cleaning the house.

them: I'm so confused ๐Ÿค”

me internally: and I'm supposed to be the disordered one ๐Ÿ™„
