A lady appears upset about something, not too happy at all. A man comes by and said why don't you smile sometimes. The lady says smile for what?!?!? I lost my job, my husband left, got three kids, prices is high, my dog is sick, just got evicted, and I need five teeth pulled. Whoa, the man says and backs up. I said , Tell It like it is!! If he wants to know why she's not smiling, she told him!!!. Dont ask something , if you dont want to know the answer!!

lol. Sometimes a question provides an answer we aren't necessarily bargaining for. As for that woman, she sounds like a hot mess.

Like asking how someone is doing. Usually when I go down the list I get abruptly cut off. Poor lady! As if your dog is sick is not enough!

@db20747 If someone asks me how am I doing, I never provide a real answer because I know 99.9% of the time it's not a question, but simply a standard nicety to ask the question.

@porwest this is true, usually just a courtesy, no time to really hear how youre doing.

Exactly, before asking be sure you really want to know the answer.

@db20747 A friendly voice is important and we must be ready to listen.

That is very true since privacy of a person is better than learning the answer to why someone is upset.
