What Do You Really Mean When You Say, "I AM FINE"

 

Do you know that “I am fine” is the most told lie in the English language? It is usually used when someone is, in fact, not fine but they say “I am fine” because they don’t want to burden others and it’s easier to explain than what’s wrong, would you agree?

F.I.N.E is said to stand for “Feeling Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional”, and can also be “Feeling I’m Nothing to Everyone” or “Feeling Inadequate, Needing Encouragement”. Whatever your definition of FINE may be most of us would just lie and say “I am FINE”, because it’s an easy way out.

Then why do we say “I am fine” when clearly, we’re not:

  • Not sure of what you really feel
  • Pretending to be okay
  • To avoid conflicts
  • Scared to tell what you're really feeling

 

Only those who identify with these feelings can truly understand the agony behind the words “I am fine.”

The next time someone asks how you are, think about the response you’re already anticipating. What if we didn’t settle for “fine”? What if we stop, take a moment, and answer with true sincerity how I’m doing? Or better yet, tell them how you’re feeling. We could all benefit from slowing down and honestly evaluating how we are doing.

The Unknowingly Negative Result of Saying "I Am Fine"

 

Have you ever paused to think about your automatic response when someone asks, "How are you?" Do you find yourself saying, "I’m fine," even when you're not? Imagine if we didn't settle for that standard reply. What if we answered with the truth?

In this episode, we dive into the habit of brushing off our real feelings with "I’m fine." Let’s explore what happens when we stop for a moment and honestly share how we're truly doing, especially with those who genuinely care about us. You might be surprised at how much people actually care—especially those who have walked in your shoes and understand your struggles

Here are the highlights I will share:

  • Beyond "I'm Fine": Understanding why we default to this response and its impact on our relationships.
  • Embracing Vulnerability: The power of sharing true feelings and asking for help.
  • Cultivating Honesty: Tips for fostering deeper, more authentic connections by breaking old habits.

Tune in to discover how embracing sincerity can lead to deeper connections and a more fulfilling life. Let’s break the habit together and start being real with ourselves and others.
