What I mean when I say:

"Yeah, thanks...I'm fine" (and then, silent, again)

****

* It's an easy answer to a question I believe, you don't really want to know the answer to.

* Added with a smile, it satisfies the need for being real.

* With a quick change of subject, we can easily talk about anything else.

* A light sarcastic tone and eye roll will lead you to believe I'm just being playful.

* Rushing you off, hoping that this answer will pacify your need to be polite.

* When said in passing, I can pretend to be too busy to pursue something deeper.

* Protecting myself from being judged or misunderstood.

* A tool used to keep others at arms length.

* I've trusted in the past and look where that got me.

* A clever mask to hide behind

****

Yeah, thanks...I'm fine
