Are we robots?

It's time for a rant on a soapbox!!!

Who here is tired of words that mean nothing coming from people that don't even know why they're saying them...

"Good job"
"Have a good day"
"Good to see you"
"Hope you're doing good"
"Are you okay?"
"Hey, that was great"
"Hey, you're really nice"

Nothing wrong with compliments and encouragements- but sometimes I wonder- "WHAT ARE THEY REALLY THINKING?"

We walk by people in the hallway and we ask them if they're doing okay... We want them to reply:
a. "Ok"
b. "Good"
c. "Great"
d. "Alright"
e. "I'm not feeling so good, but other than that, I'm good"
f. "Bad day, but it's okay"
g. "I just failed a test, but I'm alright"

Any of these responses do not require any more time of us. We don't have to spend time and talk to them and help them... we just want to keep walking... we don't want to have to get involved... most often, when a person chooses "d" as their answer, inside they're thinking:
"I HATE LIFE! I HAVE NO FRIENDS! DOES ANYBODY EVEN THINK ABOUT ME? TODAY IS THE PITS! I WANT TO GO HOME AND GO TO SLEEP AND DREAM ABOUT A BETTER LIFE!"

But that's how we all like it- superficial salutations and "friendly" greetings... what can we do instead, after all? What can we do when we're feeling bad and we know someone is going to pop the "You OK?" question...
a. Not say anything to anyone
b. Scream out our inside feelings
c. Tell people we'll talk to them later
d. Ignore their question and trudge by
e. Summarize the badness in our life
f. Tell them not to worry about it, it's okay, we'll get through it

WHAT CHOICES DO WE HAVE?!?! we are all so isolated and alone... we don't reach out and aren't reached out to. what can we do?

i don't know... i just know i'm tired and sick and i'm going to bed. night.
