You have a thicker skin than I do.
Yeah. I feel like Lemmites have some very firmly held beliefs and they will defend them to the death. That isn't bad - most of us are here because of those beliefs - but it can make for a really bland community.
Thanks for all your posts. I enjoy them.
To be fair, this is cultural. I’m an American immigrant in Germany, and I’ve unintentionally started that type of conversation a bunch of times. Here, if you ask, it’s not a social cliche, so you shouldn’t be unprepared for a real answer. In American terms, it’d be like putting your hand on someone’s shoulder, looking them in the eye for a moment and asking “how are you?,” then being surprised if they tell you something sad.
Learn how "how are you doing" is different from "how are you feeling".
