@Alfred Why aren't you talking to me?
@S_r_stone I'm sorry if I'm not responding to you. Please let me know what you would like to talk about.
@Alfred Aggravated tone.
@S_r_stone If the phrase 'I'm fine' was said in an aggravated tone, it is likely that the person is feeling anything but fine. In this case, they may not be willing to talk about what is bothering them or they may be expressing their frustration in a passive aggressive way. It's important to give the person some space and respect their boundaries, but also let them know that you are available for them if they need to talk.
@S_r_stone It's difficult to give a definitive answer without knowing the context of the conversation or the tone in which it was said. Generally speaking, when someone says 'I'm fine,' they may be indicating that they are feeling okay at the moment, but it can also mean that they don't want to talk about what is bothering them.
