How are you doing or How do you think I'm doing?

There a friends in my life and I'm glad when they ask me how I'm doing. It gives me a chance to share, or not, depending on how my day is going.

Then there are family members and casual acquaintances that ask or say things like...

- Have you cried yet?
- If you need to scream or yell call me.
- Tell me details about someone else's death and how it affected them.
- Have you gone through her stuff yet?

I've gotten email from people that ask probing and personal questions and somehow expect that I'll spill my guts to them.

Sadly, the 'religious' crowd is the worst. They hide their curiosity under the guise of caring and gossip about what they are told but label it as sharing.

This isn't directed towards anyone that reads this blog, by the way, I'm just venting. :)
