Therapist: “You’re sharing jokes, that means you’re doing good!”
You: “It’s a meme, that means I’m doing bad.”
"I only share memes when I'm doing bad"
"But you're always sharing memes..."
":)"
Hope you're fine.
I'm actually fine, thank you for the concern <3

Yep at first your gut is to be polite and not burden anyone else with your problems they are obviously just asking how I'm doing to be polite themselves no need to tell the truth.
Yes, we save the ugly truth for 3 nanoseconds after polite pleasantries are exchanged.
I just watched an episode of Lingthusiam about Phatic expressions yesterday- very interesting.
Like in Korea the phatic language is 'have you eaten yet?' which could be asked even if it's obvious someone just came from eating.
fun fact ; I've been yeeted from many therapists for being too crazy.
they really just want to chit-chat for cash
If everyones an asshole....
…I'm an asshole too?
