    love this

    sooo true means we are not fine and your in soooooooooooooo much trouble that running would be a very good idea lol
    Goes to show that everyone's different, and that's totally fine :flowerforyou:
    But when you find someone that's like you.. You hang onto that person and you do not let go.

    It means it's okay and I'm fine!
    I had an ex who could not read between the lines, so why make the lines? If I was angry, I'd tell him and we'd sort it!
    There may have been the occasion when I wasn't fine but upset or something that I'd say it and want comfort. But never in anger! Or he'd think nothing was wrong and then where does that get us?

    Pft!

    For me personally "I'm fine" usually means "I am trying to convince myself that I am fine because I don't like getting angry"

    Or at least in the context you presented.

    In the context of someone in the office asking "How are you?" "I'm fine" or "I'm ok" either means "I'm fine" or "I don't feel like talking right now".

    If that is directed at me, do you tell your work colleagues "I don't want to talk about how I am" when they ask you how you are in the kitchen, or do you just say "I am fine" or "I am tired" and move on with your life?

    Seriously, too many people in this world asking me questions I don't want to give them the answer to.

    Sounds like those people need to learn to keep their noses attached to their heads, if they don't respect your choice to not discuss what's bothering you. That's your own choice, not theirs o.o
    That's when I tell them if they want to talk later, to not forget I'm there. I'm not going to pry.

    Not true... at least in my case.

    I don't understand a lot of women. And I only hate women who play BS passive aggressive games. Or talk trash about you for little or no reason.

    When a girl says fine. It doesn't mean fine. The scale goes great, good, okay, not okay, I hate you, fine.

    I just want to say, that I know that I display behaviour that many people would call passive aggressive, and I am learning to recognise in myself when I am angry and when I need to speak up, but it actually takes a huge amount of effort. I can't afford to expend that effort on every person who comes across my path. I am coping with life the best way I know how.

    It might not seem like much effort to you, it probably isn't that much effort to you to articulate how you feel. But for some of us it takes time to learn ourselves how to recognise our own negative feelings, much less articulate it to other people.

    Also, passive aggressive behaviour is not limited to women.

    I'm very straightforward and literal, so when I say "I'm fine," it means I'm fine. If I'm pissed off or upset or unwell I let you know straight up. I have no patience for games. My husband really appreciates that quality. We don't have a lot of drama in our relationship. Maybe that's why. :laugh:

    My sister-in-law, in contrast, is one of those stereotypical girls who pouts, and giggles, and screams and throws things and makes you guess why she's mad. "It's okay" and "I'm fine" are standard phrases for her. Most of the time it means somebody's about to feel her wrath. Drives me nuts, but I guess my brother likes it...

    I'd be wary of a woman who hates other women.

    That's not normal.

    Only nasty women hate each other. I like women. People who bring drama suck, regardless of gender.

    means she's fine for now.. then 6 months later you will be eating dinner and get screamed at for something you don't even remember.. and it will be something so stupid you will try not to laugh over it.. like making her take out stinky garbage, or not opening a garage door, or cutting the grass..

    ticking time bombs...

    I like to say it like it is, so if I say "it's okay, I'm fine, or I'm good" I usually mean it, but always makes me laugh:

  • I hate when someone tells me they are fine, but I can tell they are definitely not. I think when someone says that and it's obvious they are upset, guy or girl, it's b/c they don't feel the issue will be resolved by discussing it with the person in relation to it. It's not an affective way of communicating and I think everyone has done it some time or another. If someone does it constantly, it's probably not worth trying to figure it out b/c to me it signifies someone who is unable/unwilling to put in the same amount of effort towards effective communication. On the other hand, some people are really hard to talk to. Growing up, I had a parent who constantly invalidated me anytime I was upset about something. This parent was not perfect, like anyone else, and made mistakes. There were times when I was definitely owed an apology or explanation but no matter how I tried to express myself, I was always wrong, wrong, wrong. So I got to the point were I would say "I'm fine", b/c it really didn't matter what I thought or felt.

    She wants flowers, an apology and about an hour of her talking and you listening. If you like this girl, I suggest not wasting time.

    And cuddling...lots of it...chicks dig cuddling...

    Women are all in competition. It's not that we hate each other. We're just always comparing ourselves - it's actually biological - to get the good "breeder". Hell, when we go out, we dress for other women, not for men...we need to look better...straight up truth...
