Holly and I went to a party at a friends house last Friday night. The party was pretty cool, the front man from the Smithereens (Pat DiNizzo) performed. I was nervous going because I knew that there were going to be several people there that were 'friends of friends' and I did not know who knew about my special condition. I do not bring up my condition in a casual conversation...it usually leads to sad stories about people they knew/know that are sick. So someone would ask 'How are you doing?'....and I do not know how to respond. If I'd say 'just fine, and you?', and they knew I was having problems, I fear coming off as callous and distant.
Then some close friends would ask the same, and I do not want to get into any details as to not be a drag at a party (aka Debbie Downer from Saturday Night Live See her here).
So I apologize if I seem distant when you talk to me in person.
