The Biggest Lie I've Ever Told

We've all told a lie at some point in our lives... no matter how upright and ethical you claim your life to be or try to be. And I suspect, for many of us, we continue to tell lies.... in fact, I can almost guarantee this!

You see one of the biggest lies I've ever told is this... 

"I'm fine"

And I have a strong feeling that 90% (or more) of the people reading this have told that very same lie!

For so many, when asked how they are doing; the rote answer of "I'm fine" is what comes out of their mouth. We wonder 'does this person truly want to know?' Saying anything else may bring a slew of questions with it. "I'm lonely" would likely bring comments telling the person all the reasons they SHOULDN'T be lonely or shouldn't feel that way, rather than validating the emotion. 

Other friends may offer up recommendations on how to NOT be lonely. All of these with good intentions of course. But none of them acknowledging the emotional response and simply allowing for space to be held. 

Plus, let's face it; the mere thought of a different response causes us to consider how uncomfortable it will make not only us, but the other person as well. 

What might change on an interpersonal level, if we eliminated the phrase "I'm fine" from our lingo? How would our relationships be changed if instead we allowed our authentic emotion at that time to be shared and exposed?

I have pondered those questions a bit here and there. On one hand, I wonder if in being more authentic in that regard would alienate people from each other. After all, most people don't want to be face to face with uncomfortable feelings and issues in themselves, never mind in another person. 

On the other hand, quite possibly, being more authentic in our response has the ability to allow us to have a more human experience. Allowing us to serve and help each other on a more intimate level. 

Do you find yourself responding with "I'm fine" when you truly don't mean it? What do YOU think would happen if, instead, we answered with how we really feel?
