1) Pity - I HATE THIS ONE. It's the one that people give you when they know.... All the questions they want to ask but don't dare to are in their eyes - clear as day.
They cock their heads to one side with a look of concern and then ask "How are you?". I reply " I am fine" all the while thinking "How the hell do you think I am?!...don't ask stupid questions!"
I cannot begin to count the number of times I have replied " I am fine." What does it really mean?...
2) Blank - the one when they find out for the first time...look at you and then short circuit.
3) Avoidance - The one where they quickly apologise and then move onto the next subject.
I am sure there are many more to come...but in some strange way, it's almost fun to watch the cogs turning in their pretty little heads. Throwing a monkey wrench in makes the show more fun...
4) The one that knows - - the one that comes from those who know exactly what I'm going through. It is transparent. There are no questions, there are no lies, no false hopes no empty promises. Just... "I know"
