5 Things to Say Instead of “I’m Fine”

By Divya

“I’m holding it together today.”

You’re doing your best, not faking perfect. It’s a softer truth that opens room for connection.

“I’m feeling a little off, but I’ll be okay.”

Vulnerable, but hopeful. Lets people know something’s up without overwhelming the space.

“I don’t have the words yet.”

When emotions feel messy and unnamed, this line gives you time , and others understanding.

“Thanks for asking, I’m managing.”

Acknowledges their care and your effort. You’re not dismissing them, or yourself.

“Can we talk about it later?”

A gentle boundary. You’re not shutting down, just asking for safety and space.
