How do you feel...when somebody asks you "How do you feel"?

[Bruce Lindfield]

I notice threads starting "How do you feel...." and instantly I feel like I'm on some awful daytime TV show - where they are trying to provoke a reaction for the camera - like start crying or hit somebody!

So I wondered how other TBers see this kind of thread?

[Deacon_Blues]

Well, mostly if somebody asks me how I feel, I say "okay", no matter how I actually feel. I also think they don't actually care what the answer is. Then if someone ask me how I feel about something specific, I answer the question and don't think more about it...

When someone asks me how I feel, I tell them I feel diarrhea coming so I can get the hell out of there.

Oh I agree with you in real life situations - just to clarify, I meant that I find it weird when a thread on TB starts :"How do you feel about....(insert something or other)?"

So - OK when you meet people you know, then this is a kind of "ritual" question - but on a board like TB - it's like you are on an awful TV show like Jeremy Kyle where they are trying to provoke a response?

So - I am not talking about real life situations - just on TB threads!

Ahh, Well in that case..



I feel Diarrhea coming.. soo bye!

I voted the third choice, but it's not really because someone cares... I'm just always warm and fuzzy.

I feel like they are acknowledging my existance and are asking the same from me. Big deal. Personally I feel NO obligation to answer any questions from anyone at anytime unless I feel like it. So.... when anyone (other than my doctor) asks me how I feel, I tell them either, "Great, and you?" or "I feel with my fingers you asshat, how do you do it?".

I feel like posting how I feel.I'm usually honest in TB about how I feel.

OTOH I know that every one just want to post and most of the people here don't care how others feel.But letting it out is a good feeling.

It depends. Sometimes you gotta send in the "scout" finger first.

a TB poll with no "Carrots"?

BLASPHEMY!

[Atoz]

I'd much rather hear what someone thinks about something than how he or she feels about something, as a well-thought out response holds more value for me than someone blathering about their emotions.

How do you feel for making a confusing thread like this? I feel like carrots when people ask me how I feel.

That would be the last option on the poll then!
