… *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.

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 🤔
me internally: and I’m supposed to be the disordered one 🙄
