Comment on Some people have it worse

It’s also I don’t want to be a downer. If I were to answer honestly i’d say “i feel like shit”.

Then literally just say “could be better”. It’s the truth, and phrased in such a way that a stranger you’re exchanged pleasantries with doesn’t have to feel awkward about it.

You’re probably right.
