[@Cynder] I find that's because it's easier to lie and say you're fine than unpack all the bullshit that's [i]actually[/i] bothering you and risk upsetting the other person/people involved.

Especially if they believe they've done nothing wrong to upset you somehow.

I lie about how I'm feeling all the time but that's because I really don't have the energy to unpack the fact that my roomies hold me to a higher 'roomie' standard than they do each other.

Because they don't see it, I know they don't. So they'll refuse to even conceive they might be doing something wrong.
