I don't like when people check in on me- if I wanted help, I'd ask for it (and I *almost* never ask for it). This goes triple for people like co-workers with whom sharing my personal issues is completely inappropriate. I always say no, I'm fine, etc. I *want* to say "I'm fine, but even if I was literally dying I wouldn't be sharing my business like that." Especially when I'm not fine (struggling with a health issue, having home problems, or experiencing a personal challenge of some sort), people bugging me about asking if I'm ok just makes me that much angrier!
How do I politely ask people to stop asking me if I'm ok?
