In an allegorical sense, I can totally relate to this. No matter what big thing is going on in my life, my colleagues tend not to care. (And yet, I’m expected to care about certain things). It’s a very isolating feeling and yes you do wind up saying “Fine” (though perhaps in a tight-lipped way) when asked “how are you doing” because you know no one gives a fish and just wants to hear “fine”
(I had a parent in the hospital at the very start of classes this fall; it looked bad for a couple of days, and I was surprised at how little anyone seemed to care)
The past is another country.
Not even a “what part of town?”
But neither am I getting a “you know, if you quit going to speakeasies, this would stop happening to you” vibe.
