Why do people expect you to greet them "good morning" even when it's obvious that you ain't having a good morning?
This proves that people actually want to hear you say what they want you to say... Your true feelings ain't relevant to them. Imagine how weird it would be to greet someone "bad morning," Please normalize greeting people "bad morning," so that the broken won't feel cheated or bad for saying what they don't feel like saying.
People don't actually care about how you truly feel if it is not gonna affect them in one way or the other. Even when they ask you how you are doing, they expect you to respond by saying you are fine—even if you are not, 'I'm fine' is just the normal response. If you now respond by saying 'I feel bad,' they would then see you as being weird or disrespectful. That's how we were raised, to always agree to what the society want to hear.
So my question is, should greeting people "bad morning," or responding to "how are you" by saying "I feel bad" be normalized?
