How was he doing? Hmm. He hated this question. No one really wanted to know how you were doing. They wanted you to tell them how okay you were so they didn’t have to feel weird around you. Luke would rather lie about his mental state than deal with everyone’s awkward silence and looks of pity. He always took the easy way out and told them what they wanted to hear. Brian wasn’t a close enough friend to cry in front of, so Luke went with his normal response.
So true. I have experienced this first hand. It became very apparent to me how uncomfortable people would get with the truth.
