Do you have your standard answers for when someone is making polite conversation and asks “how are you?” or “how are things going?” My go-to answer is “good.” However, over the last month I have felt overly stressed and exhausted but continue to answer the “how are you” question with my standard “good” answer. Is this a detriment? Am hurting myself by making it appear that I truly can hold everything on my shoulders?
Everyone deals with stress differently.
