“What is a way to answer someone “I’m not okay” without them knowing it?” refers to employing indirect responses or subtle hints to convey a state of emotional distress without explicitly stating it. This approach aims to avoid causing alarm or concern while still communicating the need for support or understanding.
Responding with phrases like “I’m just feeling a bit under the weather” or “Things have been a little tough lately” can signal a need for support without raising immediate red flags. Similarly, using humor or self-deprecating remarks can mask underlying distress, such as saying “I’m surviving, but just barely!”
