"Are you okay?"
Why do people say it? Does "I'm fine" honestly not satisfy you? If so, you don't mean what you're asking. I mean, come on, look in my eyes - I'm not okay. You know I'm not okay. And you asking if I am is just reminding me how badly I'm not. I want someone to reach a little farther than just "Are you okay?" Instead of asking a question, make a statement. You're okay. It's going to be okay. It would mean so much more. We all need to look a little deeper. Nobody is ever okay.
