It’s all good man! We’ve all heard it before, heck, many of us have said it before! It’s our instinct response when someone asks “hey how are you doing?”
Anything but a positive response feels out of place …
Like I’m opening up too much
Or
Nobody cares
But underneath you’re feeling stressed, tired, or overwhelmed.
If you’re a dude reading this, you know the feeling and it’s likely the guy next to you know this feeling.
If you’re someone who cares about a dude, this is what most dudes do in response to your question about how they’re feeling.
Why not double check and get a more genuine response?
Go up to the wall with the big ol “caution wet paint do not touch” sign and see for yourself.
“Hey I know you said fine but can I still give you a hug?”
“Hey I’m sure you’ve got this, but can I send you a coffee?”
“Hey I’m all ears to hear about how fine you’re doing”
At best you help a struggling guy feel more supported
At worst you boost a guy who’s already feeling supported!
